Last night I invested another  hour in giving an interview and tour to 
yet another journalist.  Her questions were clearly leading her theme 
that Cohousing is a very attractive and positive way of changing our 
society for the better.  Who knows what she will actually write, but I 
really am glad that Russell summarized it as he did above, as this 
theme keeps coming out in all my evangelizing, I just don't summarize 
it well and the main point of cohousing is building a better way to 
live, which includes some architecture but is mostly people and their 
relationships.

During the tour the journalist, who had been to Puget Ridge, said, 
"wow, you are so different from Puget Ridge, but its all the same 
thing!"  I was tickled that she had figured it out that the 
architecture was not the point of cohousing.  Now if we could only get 
some of  the architects to figure that out........
