Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cooperative neighbors and neighbornets, Definition of Terms

[S. Kashdan (skashdan]

If we take the definition of  "Infill" Neighborhood:  to refer to
development on a relatively small parcel of land surrounded by already
developed land that is not changing.  Usually proposals for such parcels are
compatible with
existing uses which limits how they can be developed (as well as the size
and shape etc. of the parcel.

Then Jackson Place Cohousing is only half "infill." It is built on 2.5
acres. But, it is surrounded by some vacant lots and other property that is
in the process of being developed and/or redeveloped. There will be artists'
lofts across the street, additional affordable housing nearby,  new
mixed income apartments and stores built on a site owned by Good Will, etc.
