The key in the early 1990s was reading an article in the NYTimes that used the 
word “cohousing.” Just knowing that word resulted in a lot of information. I 
think I did a yahoo search, I found this list and the Coho site. (Yahoo was 
much better then. I’m not sure Google existed actually.)

But I didn’t get serious about it until 1997. Then from there I looked for 
communities that fit my criteria — urban or center of small town, attached 
buildings, condo. Not ideological about food or television.
