Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Age and time

[Jenny Williams (jlgw]

I'd say it really depends on what you're looking for.  If you're older
and just want to be around people who have lived through the same times
that you have, obviously you're not going to want an intergenerational
community.  But I find it's very valuable to have points of view from
people at different points of life.  Younger people also often bring
more physical energy to the community.

Subject: [C-L]_ Age and time


My wife and I own but rent out a home in a cohousing community.  (We'd
live there if we could find reasonable work).  We're 60 and 61 yrs old.
Our plan is to move there within several years.  

The very last thing I want is to live in a place where I'm surrounded by
people of the same generation.  Not now.  Not then.
