Cohousing-L Mailing List: Moving out news and a question

[Dahako (Dahako]

Hi all -

Well, I've been living in Eno Commons in Durham, NC, since mid-1998 and will be 
moving out sometime this summer to take a job in Washington, DC.  My family and 
I love living in cohousing (almost all the time) and we have struggled with 
this decision mightily for several months. My kids have stipulated that they 
are only agreeing to move if we stay in cohousing!

I currently have an interesting job and, if you had asked last summer, would 
have said that I'd never see myself uprooting my life and family to follow a 
job.  Just goes to show, you should never say never.

We are looking at cohousing opportunities in the DC area (and hyperventilating 
in sticker shock). Among other things, I'm trying to figure out how much 
commute cohousing is worth.  Anyone else out there pulling a long commute for 
cohousing? Pros? Cons?
