I am becoming interested in the idea of working with others to retrofit
an older neighborhood for co-housing in the Cincinnati area.  

I know virtually nothing about the details (legal, financing, etc.).  The 
cohousing Web page referred to a book "Sustainable Cities:  Concepts
and Strategies for Eco-City Development" from CRSP.  Would this be a 
good source to start from?

Thanks.
