Cohousing-L Mailing List: Cohousing Elitism

[Documania (dcma]

This discussion is very interesting. I would like to add the point that
cost is very much a factor in support of the "cohousing is elitism"
argument. I have had to abandon my dreams of participating in a cohousing
community because everything I've learned about it so far tells me that it
matches or exceeds the cost of conventional housing. I cannot, and likely
never will be able to, afford to live in such a community. The irony is,
when I first learned about cohousing I thought that, because it involved
shared resources, it would be less expensive.
