here are responses to your collective queries:
- habitat: contact your local chapter. if they don't know, contact the boulder 
valley chapter in boulder colorado for how you can guide your local group
- cultural competency: this is a big coho issue. i'm the only brown skin in my 
'hood. cohousing / community is not in the american social dna. i happen to be 
teaching a workshop about this at the aging better together conference in salt 
lake coming up in may.l - spirit of culture
- ghettos: i read something from some poster about low income ghettos. around 
the corner from silver sage is a permanently affordable owner occupied 
development that works well. i think ownership is the hedge against ghettos - 
which is the habitat ideology. these complicated rent to own deals putting 
people in debt who have no business taking on a mortgage get some people 
underwater real fast.
- senior cohousing: i'm a movie maker and produced a documentary called 'aging 
gratefully' which is screening at the salt lake conference. if you want to 
screen it in your neck of the woods let me know. here's info about it:
