Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Cohousing & traditional neighborhood movements.

[Rob Sandelin (robsan]

Mike you asked:

The part I don't like about cohousing is that it typically involves more
development, putting human structures (however harmoniously) where nature
was.  Why can't we renovate existing neighborhoods?

I highly recommend:  Creating Community Anywhere, by Christine Shaffer. 
 Good book on all the things people ARE doing to create community.  I 
also recommend: Community Dreams by David? Berkowitz. Several good 
practical ideas here also.
