Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: rules in common areas

[HTilstra (HTilstra]

As I am trying to suss out the Australian psyche in relation to cohousing.

I would like to think that I can be a cigar smoking, slobbery dog loving,
Pauline Hanson-voting (very right wing, plain, sloganistic) person and still
have a unit in a cohousing community. 

On the other hand, many a religious organisation have been researched to
deliberately apply obscure rites of passage to screen out freeriders.

What works and what is inappropriate? I guess I am mainly interested in the
shared expectancy and degree of freedom that develops in common areas.

Any experiences?
