Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Another cohousing article

[Steve Welzer (stevenwelzer]

>From the article:

“In Europe, in recognition of the social, economic, and environmental
benefits of cohousing, governments have encouraged its development. Denmark
is the global leader, with an estimated 7 percent of the population living
in cooperative or cohousing communities.”

Someone in our U.S. movement will at some point become the burning soul who
focuses on coordinating initiatives to get cohousing-friendly legislation
passed ... at all levels -- local, state, and federal.

The fostering of cohousing by governmental agencies wouldn’t be a panacea,
but it sure would help.
