Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Coho & Makin' Dough --> Sustainability?

Several of us at EcoVillage at Ithaca will be moving previously "commuting"
offices into the CH, making them "non-commuting". For me the time savings
that Mike Mariner mentioned will be dramatic. Of course, it would be tough 
to commute from Ithaca, NY to my clients in NJ once I move, so the tele-
commuting is essential. I may end up blowing a lot of the savings on the
occasional car trips back to NJ for face-to-faces, but maybe even that can
be cut down dramatically by video teleconferencing. My phone bills, however,
might be *interesting* to say the least.

We will be wiring the entire community (pending approval of the proposal)
with fiber, and i'll be getting at least 4 phone lines and maybe ISDN.

We have several computer nerds at EVI, and we occasionally talk about doing
something together and getting filthy rich, but nothing's been done yet...
