Cohousing-L Mailing List: EMS, Y2K and CoHousing

[annmarie banchy (annmarie.banchy]

I support the relavent nature of the Y2K posting, because "its
happening" to all of us, whether we are fortunate to live in a CoHo
setting or not. The human race is being asked everyday to rebuild
community, and the Y2K problem could put a little heat under the fire.

Also, from where I sit, quite a few people who live in CoHousing are
technologically savvy - and it isn't long before we see neighborhoods
linked together by networks etc.

Lastly, our basic instinct is survival, and when we sit and define our
futures, it is this instinct that fuels the vision. CoHo makes sense - a
modern tribe, trying to blend interdependence with decades of
dysfunctional isolationism.

I will be bold and say that if your going to get it together as a
serious CoHousing group, you got to plan for the future - build
interconnections -- why? 'cause it will make the group more prepared to
handle the events of tomarrow (what ever that may be! let it be peace,
LET IT BE...!!!!!!)

Besides, having a floorstock of food and water (and wine) can be really
handy when you throw a party!
