Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Re: Car ownership in cohousing

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

It is easy to ride share and I have marveled that so little organized ride
sharing has been done, for example setting up a ride board in the
commonhouse, etc.

At Sharingwood we co-owned a truck for awhile, but it died of neglect. I
personally co-own a car with another  family. They bought out half our
equity, and we keep a mileage and costs log which we reconcile quarterly. So
I went from a two car family to a one and a half car family. I have not been
tracking actual car trips, but I don't think the number of car trips has
been altered by sharing a car.

There is great unrealized potential to make considerable reduction in car
trips at Sharingwood, but there is no leadership to make it happen.
