Cohousing-L Mailing List: Coho: empty nesters, singles, single parents

[Mmariner (Mmariner]

A quick poll before coho-L leaves the air:

In your cohousing groups what percentage (gross estimates ok) are:

1.  Empty nesters
2.  Singles no kids

3.  Single parents

I'm wondering if it's a unique-to-Boulder phenomena that quite a few 1's and
2's show up in cohousing and not too many 3's.  A not-too-brilliant guess is
that both time and money are more often available to 1's & 2's but not to
3's.

I know some single parents (and double parents) who are waiting to get
involved in coho until their nests are empty.

What if each coho group were to bring in a couple single-parent families who
could not otherwise afford it -- say, as renting (or not) household members
of some of the families who are buying in?



When coho-L is is resuscitated, maybe somebody could do a more thorough poll
- retirees, ethnicities, college teachers, basketweavers, whatever.
