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

[Dave and Diane (daveanddee]

Hi Fleck, and all fellow cohousers,

In one of your emails you said this rule was written 5 years ago--I am 
wondering if he just plumb forgot about it. It may have been a hotly 
contested issue at the time, but memory is a funny thing. Sometimes two 
people will go through the same meeting and remember things completely 
differently. One person will remember an event in great detail for 
years and another person will have forgotten it the next day. Have you 
had meetings on a regular basis where you announce upcoming design 
changes to people's units? Did you ever form a design review committee? 
In my experience cohousers are fabulous at passing proposals that say 
"we will do so-and-so on such-and-such date" and then when 
such-and-such dates rolls around they forget that they ever passed the 
proposal.

Just my .02 dollars...
