Hey Paul...there are a few of us struggling to get affordable cohousing
happening.  We feel mostly alone with it because, this has not been the
intention of cohousing.  We are also a group of low income people who are
spearheading a development in Calgary that will be affordable first and
perhaps cohousing second...if we can find a way to afford a common house
too. Have you looked in the archives for Affordable?  There have been
discussions before on here and a few examples given...but I forget where
they were now.
