Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Re: Village Homes

[Michael Jacob (tdmj]

I have friends who live there and love it. VH is much larger than standard Coho
projects.Per my friends it works well environmentally and socially  and as far
as I know hasn't been replicated in Calif. Resales there are at least 10%
higher than in comperable neighborhoods in Davis. I've never been there but I
imagine Eco-village Ithica NY is a good comparison to VH.
