Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Turnover in Cohousing

[Elizabeth Stevenson (tamgoddess]

I think that there is a very low turnover in the first few years because
everyone has moved in at the same time, and the circumstances which cause
people to want/need to move haven't happened yet. We also had very low
turnover at the beginning, and now it's closer to normal.

If the average person moves every 5 years, and eveyone moves in at the same
time, then it will be at least a few years before that bell curve goes up.
Plus, after developing it for a few years, people are drained of money and
energy to move.
