Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Silver EcoCommunity’s demise, need info on cooperative households

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Dear Joanie —

I’m an advocate of “co-living” spaces.

I live and work in DC —  a very “high rent” area — property prices here are 
dizzying.   Plus we have a major development boom — even during the 
“recession.”    No recession here …

As a 15 year group house living veteran prior to cohousing, I promote co-living 
as one answer to high cost non affordable housing.   Believe me when I was 
living in a group house one reason was because RENTS were so high — even in the 
‘burbs!

You received many suggestions for legal help as well as examples of communities 
w/ shared living structures.  I’ll add:

Let us know what you decided to do.  I’m sure interested in the course you 
follow!
