Cohousing-L Mailing List: affordable cohousing

[Alan O'Hashi (bvet22]

here are responses to your 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.
- ghettos: i read something 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 get some people underwater fast.
- senior: 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:
