I agree with those (can't remember who) who say, why not? I'm all for cohousing plain vanilla, cohousing with x, cohousing with y, etc. I think if the key, defining elements are there, it's cohousing. I confess to some trepidation about how to *do* running a business together, and I suspect that (depending on the requirements for member participation) it would filter some folks out, . . . on the other hand, it might also filter others in. Actually, we already run a business together, i.e. common spaces, etc, it just doesn't generate a lot of income - but we have to cover our costs. That said, I would also say that I see cohousing at the individualistic end of the continuum of intentional communities (self-sufficient private homes). So why not have hybrids that might move us along the continuum?
