Cohousing-L Mailing List: This is too cool ...

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hi all!

Yesterday, I attended a conference at the National Building Museum here in 
Washington, DC.  Former HUD secretary, Henry Cisneros, gave the keynote 
address.  It was for the advent of his newest book:  Independent for Life:  
Homes and Neighborhoods for an Aging America.  

And in his keynote, when talking about other possible housing strategies, he 
mentioned cohousing!  So I just toodled right up to him, had him sign my copy 
of the book and invited him to dinner at Takoma Village.  He gave his card and 
said he'd be "back east in May."  So I'm going to invite him!

Cohousing is finally getting known at the upper, upper, upper levels in the 
housing game.

Cisneros now has his own private company, City View.  It's a real estate 
development company w/ an interest in housing strategies.

Check out my blog post on

I welcome your comments on my posting.  

In the next day or so I'll have a review of the book itself on 
cohousingblog.com.  Welcome your comments there, too!

Too cool ...
