Cohousing-L Mailing List: We need to find ways to scale this up

[Steve Welzer (stevenwelzer]

Ways to live with less stress on people and on “the planet” are desperately
needed, and those of us in the movement feel sure that cohousing and
ecovillage living shows a way forward in that regard.

I was so encouraged when Katie McCamant launched the “500 Communities”
program in 2015. I really thought that hundreds of cohousing communities
would get created within the projected ten-year time span. But here we are
seven years later having to acknowledge that it and other such endeavors
have fallen far, far short of those aspirations.

Badly needed. Hard to accomplish. Anticipating a breakthrough toward
scaling up the lifeways transformation our movement represents.

Thoughts?
