Fred, the Cohousing-L list manager <fholson [at] cohousing.org>
after I added "SF East Bay" to the subject line which I think might
prompt more people to notice / read it on this national (world) list.

The subject line of email is read by many more people than the body
of messages (not every message received gets read...).  Therefore
I urge considerable effort crafting the most informative subject line
in about 35 characters ( the typical length readable in ones email
program index.  This applies mostly to the first message in a "thread".

We're looking for like-minded people to build a cohousing
community in the San Francisco East Bay area.  Initially, we want
to find two or three households to begin the discussion with us.
Eventually, we would like to form a community of 15 to
25 households.

Instead of finding a vacant lot and building something new, we
much prefer to repurpose an existing building. That will help us
meet one objective of reducing our impact. Some other principles
important to us are:

- a transit-oriented location and encouraging biking and walking
  instead of driving
- edible gardening space
- vegetarian and vegan diets
- respecting our health and the health of others

If you're interested in becoming part of a project like this, and
are ready to commit your time and resources to create a community
around these ideals, please contact us at
GetStarted [at] manialabs.us. We're ready to get to work now.
