Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Lessons from a Austin Cohousing that disbanded

[Catya Belfer (catya]

Personal note:  when people ask me about what they need to know to create
cohousing, I say "try not to build when the housing market is about to
crash".  (We moved in in 2009).  I have a huge amount of sympathy for these
folks.
