Co-Living Story

Readers of Cohousing-L might be interested in a story that ran on NPR's
Morning Edition on 12/19. It described shared living arrangements in the Bay
Area - mostly for young, single professionals - that they are calling
"co-living" (in conscious contradistinction to communes). Eight or ten
people share the rental of a very large (mansion-size) house and keep some
of the large common spaces available for shared meals, cultural activities
(open even to non residents) and other community activities.
