Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Has anyone encountered this type of co-buy arrangement?

[Mac Thomson (macthomson]

Here at Heartwood Cohousing in SW Colorado, we put a fair amount of effort into 
exploring co-buying as a way to address affordability. I think it’s a viable 
option, legally and financially, but at the end of the day we never found 
people that actually wanted to share ownership of their home.

"Once more I am roaring drunk with the lust of life and adventure and 
unbearable beauty. I have the devil's own conception of a perfect time; 
adventure seems to beset me on all quarters without my even searching for it; I 
find gay comradeships and lead the wild, free life wherever I am."
