[Jim Pattison (mijtap1938]

Sharon, if people don't have the time to do the "chores" why in the
world are they living in co-housing? jp

The original subject, the context in which Howard and I were making our
comments, was that:

(1) limiting cohousing to those people who have time "to give" for
cohousing
chores limits diversity in cohousing, and further,

(2) the effort required to start a cohousing community and keep it
developing in the right direction is enormous. Money is just as
necessary as
time.

Then our comments were skewed into the arguments of other people. You
can't
change the subject _and_ use our comments as the basis of your argument.

Repeat: If you want to discuss another subject, don't take my comments
out
of context and use them to support your argument.

Diversity in cohousing is the subject I was discussing.
