Cohousing-L Mailing List: question -- looking for coop housing

[Dena Shumila (dashumila]

Hello All.
I'm not sure if I'm on the right list. If not, please forgive me. I am 
wondering if anyone knows of any co-op housing in the San Diego area, or how 
to find it.
I am totally blind, so I think I would qualify if any co-ops had to meet 
quotas for residents with disabilities. I don't need a unit that is 
wheelchair accessible, just one in an accessible neighborhood.

Any help or direction you can provide would be appreciated.

Dena

Greetings

I am pleased to announce that the book I have been working on for longer 
than I care to mention is now available.  I know many of you have been 
looking forward to its publication given the scarcity of cohousing related 
literature out there.

The book is titled:  'Sustainable Community: Learning from the cohousing 
model'.  The jacket notes read:

"This book explores the link between ‘sustainability’ and ‘community’.  It 
is based on a 10-year study of cohousing, a popular new type of planned 
residential community that addresses pressing environmental and social 
needs.  It uses data (including 120 photographs, 50 diagrams and 30 tables) 
from twelve cohousing developments in Canada, the US, New Zealand, Australia 
and Japan – concrete examples of successful sustainable communities.




The book is scholarly and authoritative, yet accessible to a broad 
intelligent readership as an illustrated account of a fascinating cultural 
phenomenon. It will be valuable to students of architecture, planning, 
sociology, community psychology and environmental studies as well as 
architects, planners and other professionals.  It should prompt local 
authorities and developers to envisage and implement genuinely sustainable 
urban development proposals.




Sustainable Community – Learning from the cohousing model provides in-depth 
and insightful information for participants in the cohousing, ecovillage, 
sustainability and communities movements. It is well known that such 
activists face a scarcity of literature from which to draw ideas and 
inspiration. This book will help fill that void.



“If this book encourages more people to explore innovative ways of sharing 
living space, it will have made a real contribution to a better future.” 
Professor Ian Lowe AO


Dr Graham Meltzer is considered the world’s leading expert on cohousing. He 
is an architect, scholar and commercial photographer who consults, 
researches and lectures in environmental and social architecture, housing 
and communalism."

Details about the book, including some excerpts, are available from my web 
site www.grahammeltzer.com/cohousing/index.htm

The book can be purchased online from the publishers at
