Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: assistance hoped for in Calif. Bay area, particularly Oakland

[juva (juva]

Help needed! 44 year old female has found her dream job at the Prevention 
Research Center of UC Berkley, located in Oakland.   She can afford $1,000 a 
month for rent but not a first, last and deposit!   If we could help her find a 
place to live for 6 months to a year she could take this job!   Oakland would 
be her first choice to live but anything with in an hour commute via public 
transport would work.   Do you know anyone who might have a place she could 
live in to help her get established in this great job?   IF you do please 
contact Lynissa at lrstokes71 [at] qmail.com.   Thanks for helping!

Wherever US/CA cohousing exists or is built, does it in fact sell *below* 
market rate relative to comparable residences within the surrounding community?

That is not our experience across the greater San Francisco Bay Area, where all 
housing prices are near record level, due to the high price of land and 
development costs, as well as limited inventory of existing housing for sale.
