Please see the website www.eldergrace.org I think our community would be a
match for you.  We are doing small houses in order to downsize.

I'm glad you brought this up as it interests me too.  I've joined the other 
mailing list you mentioned.

As I'm getting older I see no reason to have excess space to care for, or 
the expense of it , or even the need for so much space to have "stuff".

Yes, that's why I started looking into co-housing.
