Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Students and Post-teens as Renters

[lilbert (lilbert]

I think this is a good idea for people who are related- it gives the 
young adults some autonomy(just ask how teens LOVE having a community 
watching their every move) and lets the relatives keep tabs on them.  I 
would share Richard's concerns about having unrelated college students 
live in cohousing, but I think a careful interview process would screen 
out those who wouldn't fit in cohousing.  After all, aren't those 
memories of group living and belonging what  brought many of us to 
cohousing in the first place? It seems a natural evolution- and what an 
interesting idea!
