Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Fwd: the failure of cohousing in the united states

[Alexander Robin A (alexande.robi]

There are several cohousings in the Triangle area. The cost of houses in
ours, for example, are lower than the average in the surrounding
neighborhoods. And the cost here includes a lot of additional common
facilities such as Meeting house, common land and garden.

So while some are quite expensive, many are trying hard to be
affordable.

Although I'm still a member of this list, I'd given up on ever joining a
cohousing community because the high costs made it an impossible dream
--
so I can see why this fellow would get at least that impression.

Life intervened, so I had to give up on exploring cohousing and muddle
on
in the crush of a "mundane" lifestyle. Will I find affordable
opportunities if I start looking into this option again?
