Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Low Income

[R Philip Dowds (rpdowds]

It varies a lot.  Over time, some have been highly participatory, others are 
seen but rarely.  I think it's safe to say that families selected by the city 
did not start out seeking cohousing; they were mostly looking for an affordable 
solution in a location that works for them.  Some adapt to the ways of our 
tribe, some do not.  But the same might be said about the market rate units.
