Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Working with Process Consultants

[Diane Simpson (coho]

To me, this seems like  the biggest problem. Our group lives in close 
enough proximity that we can all get together in person for committee 
meetings. But it's not only that--we live close enough together for 
other community-building activities such as occasionally babysitting 
for one another, borrowing a car from each other, lending a vacuum 
cleaner to another member, helping each other move, arranging for a 
community children's birthday party...the list goes on and on. I think 
if you don't have time for all of these spontaneous community-building 
activities you've got an uphill battle and you're going to have to put 
a lot more money in your membership budget to help people learn how to 
live together and understand one another.

P.S. By the way, we are 83.3% presold, and would be even more presold 
if we didn't have the issue of the "affordable units" to deal with. 
We're not certain at this time if we can sell them or if the Boston 
Redevelopment Authority gets to sell them. Stay tuned....
