Our family is involved in a cohousing group in Libertytown, Maryland.
We intend to move in the Fall of this year. I, and other kids in our
group, have participated in designing the Common House w/Chuck Durrett,
and I have represented our young people by speaking & answering
questions at a Regional Cohousing workshop @ Libertytown.

I would like to have some kind of connection though Cohousing-L or a
chat room with other young people (adults welcome) planning to be, or
in, cohousing. All I see on Cohousing-L is adults talking about "kids",
but no young people talking with each other or adults.
 
Is there an interest in this? Please ask your young people. How can
something be set up to deal with youth questions, issues with adults,
and other parts of cohousing life? How about a Cohousing-L SUBJECT
category "Youth Chat"?
