Let me add one point to what Liz said above (which might otherwise sound a
little discouraging).  While starting your own cohousing group might seem
daunting, it is going to have a much higher success rate, in a much
shorter time, than joining a waiting list.  I don't know what the exact
number are, but the following is true:  Virtually all of people who join
waiting lists this month will still be on waiting lists five years from
now.  On the other hand, a significant number of people who start their
own cohousing groups this month--and work very hard for a long time--will
be living in cohousing five years from now.
