Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: The Declaration of Independence had to be a cohousing project!

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hi David!

I look forward to you posting this every year.  It’s a great reminder that we 
can, with some dedication and focus, come to consensus on BIG projects that 
seem totally out of this world.  Such as building a neighborhood where everyone 
knows  your name …  completely ridiculous idea …
 
Happy Fourth!
