I think there are more IC cultural divisions than just income sharing or
not.  Has anyone sorted cohousings by elaborateness of pet policy and
mandatoryness of meal sharing?

What community has the pet policy that, when your dog trees a possum
in the orchard at 3am, you go deal with it?  A car policy about who
keeps track of the oil in the tractor?
