Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Communities in San Diego or Pittsburgh?

[kwan lu (kwanlu]

I was looking for one in the San Diego area myself...Just a word of 
warning...public transportation in San Diego sucks. And the likelihood of 
anyone not closely related to Bill Gates finding affordable property within 
cycling distance of UCSD is about on a par with NASA finding their Polar 
Lander...Anyway, good luck!
