Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Advertising available houses on this list

[Molly Lazar (mollyschaefer]

The for-sale listings help me see the vibrancy of the cohousing movement in a 
more personal way.  

Every summer, I give a talk and tour to prospective cohousers from all over the 
country (at a Unitarian Universalist camp) and at least one of the attendees 
has purchased a cohousing unit in another state.  My knowledge of cohousing 
from this listserve helped me steer them to that community.

I am not only a coho resident, but a member of a new community selling homes.  
While we do have a marketplace ad, this enables us to reach an entirely 
different group of folk.  I would hope that the Cohousing Association would 
help open doors for forming groups, not close them.

As a long time member of this list, I wish to say that I have 
absolutely no objection
to people advertising coho houses for sale or rent on this list.
