Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: [common house accessibility

[Ed and/or Kathryn Belzer (belzer]

Ann and Craig,

You both have good points.  I too have compromised mobility and have  
spent much time on crutches and a very little in a wheelchair.  Much  
of the time, it is easier for me to walk on ramps rather than steps.   
Nova Scotia has a maritime climate with ice underfoot on and off  
through the long winter.  Having to go outside might not be very  
appealing, but the elevator is beyond our electrical capacity.

We started out wanting an indoor street.  We can't figure an  
economical way to do that yet, either.
