Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: enforcement of cohousing rules within your community

[R Philip Dowds (rpdowds]

Are you sure about this?  It shifts the burden from those seeking an exception 
granted to those objecting to an exception seized.  Now the objectors must step 
up and identify themselves as enforcers, complainers, intolerant 
trouble-makers, inflexible rule-sticklers, etc.  This shifting of burden, in my 
view, would not work for all members in all communities.  Is it true no one at 
your coho would ever be shy about protesting?

Thanks,
