I agree that it would be very desireable to have research documenting the Benefits of Cohousing. I will be attending half of the Cohousing Research Network (CRN) 's day on Networking and Presentation of Works in Progress (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TMulZm4rLLn65QnuqOB2axSh2Hplut0kp4kGf_xI6OA/edit ) at the cohousing conference the end of May in Durham ( see http://www.cohousing.org/2015conference ). (The other half day I will attend the Urban Innovation: Durham Coho Case Study. There will so much of interest at the conference one needs to go with a partner (or two) to cover more of it...) Those of us who think of the world in terms of rationality like and need research but... There is much evidence that what really influences people is narative, stories, conceptual metaphors etc. There may be research results that support this contention but I could not find much suitable to reference for this post. See George Lakoff's book Don't Think of an Elephant! So Emilie, whether you come up with all the research you'd like or not, be sure to include a good narative about the Benefits of Cohousing and I see no reason to voluntarily emphasize the lack of research. BTW in terms of research design, do we have enough cohousing to draw valid conclusions like Ann was wishing for? Fred, who thinks dangling pariticiples are useful and ok sometimes :) -- Fred H.
