Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Did your community celebrate last night?

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

HI Craig and all --

O a good long term view!

Of course, "early adopters" of anything are "radical!"  E.g. "motoring  
cars," electricity, iPhones (grin!).

As you pointed out, Craig, I trust "the movement" will expand and  
people of many beliefs will find cohousing home for them.  (And THAT  
should make consensus REALLY easy!! LOL!)
