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

[Mac Thomson (macthomson]

The communities movement is a slow growing tree. My faith is that if we keep 
nurturing it, it will continue to strengthen and grow. And hopefully someday 
that growth will really accelerate and community living will become commonplace.

Covid has certainly made people reevaluate their values and choices and driven 
many to community living. May the trend continue.
