Cohousing-L Mailing List: America's Fragile Neighborhoods

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hi all —

In BLOOMBERG CITY LAB today:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-24/new-book-argues-weak-us-social-institutions-make-fragile-neighborhoods?cmpid=BBD102423_CITYLAB&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=231024&utm_campaign=citylabdaily

There is a raft of articles, books, studies out in the last 2 or more decades 
on the health of America’s neighborhoods and the relationship of people in 
these neighborhoods.

Cohousing is an answer to so many of these warnings and issues.  And, yet … yet 
we often seemed to be sidelined as an option.  We get positive over the top 
exposure from institutions such as The NY Times, Urban Land Institute, 
Washington Post, etc.  And … yet … cohousing has not caught hold except among a 
very small portion of the public even tho’ we know people are yearning for 
communities like cohousing.

Thoughts?
