Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Encouraging Multigenerational Community

[Diane Simpson (coho]

Hi Jon,

It depends on where you're building. If you're building in a suburban 
town you'll probably tend to attract more families with kids and if 
you're building in the city you'll probably attract more singles and 
empty-nesters.

Our group is a city group and out of 26 full members we have:
8 families with kids (or very soon to have kids)
7 couples with no kids (presently living with them)
11 singles
