Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Affordable Cohousing - It Does Exist

[Martin Sheehy (martinsheehy]

Zev,
   
  Being a physician, I have seen clients in assisted living & nursing home 
facilities, & hope that baby-boomers, and those who come after them, and who 
have been imprudent in their retirement planning, will agitate from their 
governments for assistance in the building of cohousing.
   
  It is good to know, Zev, that some cohousing communities are already 
altruistically affording others opportunities to move in who otherwise might 
end up in another, less-favorable, facility.
   
  Marty.

  Marty,

Here at Nomad cohousing in Boulder, Colorado, 7 of our 11 homes are 
permanently affordable. New construction is expensive and unless 
there are substantial subsidies from the government, foundations or 
wealthier cohousers, the amount of affordable cohousing will remain 
limited for the foreseeable future.
