Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Rules & Regs Violation

[Christine Johnson (manzjohnson]

Aside from whether a prohibition on satellite dishes is reasonable or 
not, I think the really interesting issue is that in cohousing 
communities, it seems that we have limited ability to require that 
people comply with agreements failing successful exertion of social 
pressure (with the probable exception of collection of assessments).

In cases where an individual simply doesn't care that their behavior is 
in violation of agreements (for whatever reason, justifiable or not) 
nor care that their repeated violation of agreements is source of 
unhappiness for their neighbors, i.e., they are simply not responsive 
to social pressure, then there is no way to persuade such a person to 
comply. Period.
