Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Moving out of cohousing

[Rob Sandelin (robsan]

One of our local projects has had considerable turnover.  Also know 
folks have left forming groups.  The reasons I have heard from folks as 
to why they left cohousing:  First two seem to be most common.

*  Locate to new area for new job.
* Financial realities of home ownership were too great.

* Not comfortable living in group situation
* Divorce or relationship breakup
* Too many demands on time and energy.
* Group dynamic too broken - relationship(s) to or within group not 
satisfactory
*  Not enough control over decisions.
* Not enough support for kids
* Failing health
* Site location not convienent to life or work
*  Not enough people like me in group
*  Units not satisfactory, too small, too close together, too far from 
parking.
