Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Something Magical Happened at Takoma Village Last Night ...

[David Heimann (heimann]

Hello,

	Here are some other terms I've seen, used, or made up myself to 
describe cohousing as against an ordinary condo:

o  Cohousing is a condo where the homeowners' association meets monthly 
instead of annually.

o  Cohousing is a condo community with emphasis on the community.

o  Cohousing is the most conservative form of an intentional community.

o  Cohousing is an intentional community with mortgages.

o  Cohousing is similar to a cooperative, but instead of having a room in 
a house you have an apartment in a condo.

o  Cohousing is a condo where the individual units are somewhat smaller 
and the common facilities much bigger.

Regards,
David Heimann

For confused and disinterested civilians, I will sometimes simple things 
up, and call cohousing a ?condominium on steroids?.
