Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: "Like-Minded"

[Elaine (itchyink]

Although i'm sure that will be frustrating at times i think it will also be
incredibly exciting and valuable in the long run for everyone involved. I
was in a very racially diverse graduate school program (although everyone
was basically from the same economic background) and those two years did so
much for me -- a white person who grew up in largely white neighborhoods. I
think even when we live in a cities that are very diverse we can go a
lifetime without really knowing what each other are like. Living in
community gives you that opportunity. I would love to read about the inner
workings of such a community.
