<< I think many cohousers found themselves getting in further
 debt in order to "make it" into cohousing,  ...
 While some intentional communities don't require the kind
 of financial resources cohousing demands, a not-that-distant
 issue of Communities magazine underlined the difficulties
 many face in self-supporting themselves once they join >>

I am in more debt due to joining cohousing and have investigated other 
intentional communities.  My age seems to be a problem.  I am 53.  I was 
concerned 
that the health care options of intentional communities that I visited would 
not accommodate someone with, say, hemiparesis due to a stroke.  One community 
had an age limit--I am within a year or so of the limit.  If I joined, then had 
a major health care problem, would I be perceived as taking from the 
community without having given enough?  Would I be a detriment to the financial 
well-being of the community?  These concerns were a major part of my decision 
to 
stay in cohousing.
