Cohousing-L Mailing List: Carrying on the movement

[Dahako (Dahako]

Hi -
 
I was talking to my 15-year-old about the conference and she asked why, if  
we were so serious about carrying the cohousing movement forward, we 1) did not 
 have a plan to help the kids raised in cohousing (our best market) to be 
able to  live in cohousing once they leave their parents' homes 
(affordability), 
and 2)  did not have any conference sessions or national outreach for the 
teens who had  grown up in cohousing and might want to help carry the movement 
forward?
 
She and I have talked a bit about this, but I figure you all can help me  
answer her. Please.
 
Maybe she can get her community service learning hours working for the  
Mid-Atlantic Chapter answering her own questions?  What say, Ann Z?
 
Also, is anyone else having the experience that the kids raised in  
cohousing, who cannot remember anything else, expect to live in cohousing when  
they 
are grown?  Or are other kids rebelling?

in.  The Rembrandt concrete stain is gorgeous and holding up  very well except 
under the chair with rolling wheels at the computer.  And  I think this will 
be our first and last stone tile floor (stuff is *heavy*!)  once we get the 
entry hall done."
