Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Are saunas practical?

[Mac Thomson (macthomson]

We have a community hot tub and it works great. 

Sometimes folks accidentally run into each other in the tub and that helps 
build community. Sometimes people schedule getting together in the hot tub. 
Mostly when I use it, I don’t see anyone else.

Yes, someone has responsibility for caring for the hot tub, but it’s not a big 
job.

I can’t imagine that a sauna would get used nearly as much. A big part of being 
in the hot tub is sitting out in nature and enjoying the night sky.
