They have worked on many cohousing projects, and also live in cohousing themselves, so they can save groups a lot of money, heartache, and time. The finished product should be low maintenance, low noise, energy efficient, and community enhancing. A poor design will last the life of the project and can be terribly difficult and expensive to rectify, as John from Pacific Gardens Cohousing mentioned. You will probably want to read everything you can get your hands on about cohousing development and living in cohousing, and of course your group should make plans to attend the cohousing conference coming up at the end of May. Check out the Cohousing Company http://www.cohousingco.com/ for lots of information and spend some time in cohousing communities. After staying 10 days at Nevada City Cohousing I was blown away with the beautiful design and livability of that community. I also loved Wolf Creek Lodge, a senior cohousing neighborhood that is in nearby Grass Valley. While I don't live in cohousing yet, my hope and dream is to have cohousing here in Kona Hawaii. Best wishes for the establishment of your community and I would love to come and visit when you are finished! Warm aloha, Sue Smith
