I'd like to connect this to a previous conversation about mission & values
statements.

While many of us DO see cohousing as part of a bigger picture of changing
the world, not everyone in each of our communities holds that value as
dearly. Nor do we all agree on exactly what that better world should look
like! (Just like we don't agree on what a perfect common house should look
like)

Whether we like it or not, many residents of our communities come to
cohousing primarily to benefit their own lives and those of their families.
And even those of us who are out working to change the rest of the world may
sometimes see our communities as refuges, places to recharge in the company
of like-minded souls before heading out into battle again...
