Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Affordable cohousing

[suzanne hirsch (ecohouse2001]

The Quaker house where I live is like the one on
Beacon Hill but it has no limitations on the period of
stay. I have been here for 4 years and really like the
community (SRO style) living in New York City. Our
rent pays for chefs that cook dinner 6 days a week
too. For more info feel free to email me.
