Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Nomenclature

[David Weston (dweston]

Hello Cohousers,
	'Intentional community' is the generic term under which many 
different types exist - communes, co-partnerships, eco-villages, and 
more.
        Forms of ownership of intentional communities, and terms used, include:
	(USA: 'condominiums'); (Canada and Australia: 'strata 
title'); (most Commonwealth countries, and also USA: 
'co-operatives'); (New Zealand: 'unit title'); (Belgium: 
'co-ownership' ); (France:  'co-propriete'); (Netherlands: 
'appartments recht pl.' )


David J. Weston,
Scotland.
PS: I've just opened Sharon Villines' email, and noted her remarks. I 
agree with her comments, and am glad she informed us of the larger 
picture of linking with other alternate institutions such as credit 
unions. - DJW.
