Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Re: Cohousing vs. HOA Communities

[Pete Holsberg (pjh42]

Is the following true about the differences between coho and HOAs?

/Probably the biggest difference, and perhaps most important, is that 
membership is somewhat restricted.  A 'household' must apply for 
membership, which, to me, means they may be turned down.  In some 
communities you must sign a voluntary agreement that you won't lease 
or sell your unit to a person who will not participate fully in the 
community.  /

Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's 
life, freedom of religion affects every individual. State churches that use government 
power to support themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths undermine 
all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of the church tends to make the clergy 
unresponsive to the people and leads to corruption within religion. Erecting the 
"wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely 
essential in a free society.
