I would like to hear news about  this and other Retrofit Cohousing
efforts anywhere; it's been a while.

The definition of retrofit cohousing from  
http://freenet.msp.mn.us/~fholson/cohousing/retrofit/ :

Retrofit Cohousing is developed in existing housing by changing the way
the occupants of that housing relate - usually with new occupants moving
in to participate in the community.  Retrofiting the social relations and
not necessarily the structures.

Fred  whose efforts at retrofit cohousing have subsided due to
among other things lack of open housing opportunities on our block and 
huge increases in housing prices.  We still have a great neighborhood tho.

Note this message is also a test to see if the lull in cohousing-L
traffic is not a system problem ...
