Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: optimum size for a community

[Jeanne Goodman, DesksideGuru (jeanne]

I believe I had heard that optimum was greater than 16 households and less
than 35

Greetings.
Is there any list wisdom that suggests the optimum size of a cohousing
community? I can think that too few would make for too much work for
everyone involved, yet too many would lose the ability to make consensual
group decisions, or even interfere with a town hall type of decision
process.
