Thanks to those who pointed out that there can be no "left" of center in
the three dimensional model I described in my original post.  Rather, I
should have stated that, assuming the traditional cohousing model is the
center of the intentional community spectrum, then my model is centrist
WRT personal finances and private property, and to the left of center
WRT ideological influence.
