My read is that "Cheesecake Cohousing" is better described as a cohousehold: "pay a monthly fee for the mortgage, taxes and insurance on the 6,000-square-foot complex" "Bedrooms and some bathrooms were private, but nearly everything else was shared." To quote the Cohouseholding Project website: http://cohouseholding.org - Cohouseholding is unrelated people sharing a single dwelling - Cohousing is multiple households, each in a private home - a small neighborhood. Some cohousing neighborhoods have one or more cohouseholds. See Cohousing.org to learn more about cohousing communities. Cohousing is of particular interest to the Cohouseholding Project because of its value as a replicable model and the well-honed, time-tested process and structures they've developed for their creation and operations.
