Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing and chronic illness

[Joani Blank (jeblank]

I certainly hope that every cohousing community has room for everyone
without regard to physical or mental limits. Just as we want every person to
do his or her share, and not cheat themselves or their neighbors of their
contributions because they are lazy or lack commitment, I hope we don't
expect anyone to contribute beyond their ability. IMHO, this should be true
without regard to whether a person's ablility is limited limited permanently
or temporarily, because of age (too young or too old) or infirmity (accident
or illness, acute or chronic).
