Cohousing-L Mailing List: Collecting Stories and Case Studies for Cost of Cohousing Initiative

[Peter Lazar (peterlazar]

Hi Extended Neighbors,

Those of us living in cohousing have come to appreciate the many, sometimes
unexpected, ways that this lifestyle helps save money.   However, the rest
of the world doesn't fully appreciate all of the cost and time-saving
implications.

Can you share some stories about how cohousing has saved you money and time?

For example, my cohousing neighborhood just built a pool.  The neighborhood
participation in construction saved money and built camaraderie.  We could
present a compelling story about how we did this.

Coho/US would like to write up case studies like these.  This will help
people considering cohousing make the leap.

Can you suggest some ideas of how living in community has saved you time
and money?

We'd love to hear your stories and ideas.  You can share to this thread or
email me directly.

Thanks!

Peter
