First of all, as for my vehemence, it comes mostly from the advice of
other groups such as New View (see Jim's recent post), the Cambridge Mass
cohousing experiences, and advice that we have received through our
dedicated research teams.

I would like to say, speaking for myself, that I can't say enough
wonderful things about Cohousing Resources and Chris ScottHanson. I feel
as though I'm pretty clear about their weakness and strengths.

I would like to point out for any forming groups that I feel very
confident that our group was about to dissolve until we found Chris
ScottHanson. I know we were about to back out. Thank G-d, Diane Simpson
insisted on bringing Chris in to talk to the group and she was so sure of
herself that she was willing to pay for it out of her own pocket. He
started speaking at 9:00 am. By 10:00 my husband and I had agreed to
become equity members. He made us that sure this would really happen. We
haven't looked back or regretted our decision ever since.

I don't mean to be giving CR (Cohousing Resources) free advertisement, but
I think it's important that forming communities should be aware that this
was probably the most major turning point in our community.
