Cohousing-L Mailing List: A new option for Common House tables: expandable (plus SF Chron story)

[Raines Cohen (rc3-coho-L]

For communities that can't come to consensus on the appropriate size  
for (round) tables:

(they look kinda heavy and fixed-base, probably not ideal for most  
Common Houses, but might solve some design issues in units with small  
dining areas by making more room available most of the time)

at Berkeley (CA) Cohousing, where most of the community turned out  
for a Quaker wedding Saturday... and helped, and did wonderful  
sharing about the value of community. Henry Kroll, a Unitarian Elder  
Cohousing organizer in San Francisco, put it best: "Mi Co-Casa es Su  
Co-Casa".

P.S. Great SF Chronicle cohousing story on the cover of the Sunday  
Real Estate section yesterday:
