Cohousing-L Mailing List: A child's view of cohousing life?

[Christina Hilliard-LCH005 (Christina_Hilliard-LCH005]

All,
I am forwarding to the list an inquiry that I received from a student.  
Since my neighborhood hasn't yet been constructed, I thought some of you, 
or your children, could better describe cohousing life to Rachel.

Please respond directly to her address: herinckr [at] hsd.k12.or.us
since she isn't subscribed I believe. (I explained how she could.)
I hope you will also share your responses with the list!

Best,
Christina Hilliard

Christina,

I was wondering what it is like to live in a cohousing devolpement.  
I'm doing a project about cohousing for school.  I near Portland, Oregon 
and my name is Rachel.  It would really help to have someone tell me what
it's like living in a cohousing development and how it's different from
living in an apartment or your own home.
