I disagree.  Community by its very nature involves limits.  There are
participants and non-participants, and the dividing line (or grey zone, if
you were) between these two groups is a limit.  Everything else, IMHO, is
semantics.

And who do you think *you* are, to speak as the Authority as to what
cohousing is and isn't?  I *might* accept Kathy or Charles making a
statement of that sort; from you it is mere hubris.  And pretty intolerant
hubris at that.

You are acting every bit as judgemental and exclusive as those whom you
criticize.

Respectfully,

Loren
