Cohousing-L Mailing List: Developer driven cohousing?

[cjsheehan (cjsheehan]

Now that Sonora Cohousing in Tucson is nearly completed our project
manager (who is also a resident) has informed us that himself, our
builder and our developer (all separate people and companies) are
planning on starting another "cohousing" community in Tucson.  This
"cohousing" community is obviously not future resident driven and I know
that at least two of these individuals have strong ideas about limiting
the resident involvement during the pre- and construction phase.  My
question is, is this in fact a cohousing community?  Are there other
communities out there that were started by people other than the
residents (developer driven)?
