Cohousing-L Mailing List: Affordable Cohousing New Yorker Article

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

This is an informative article on the new dorms for adults in converted 
brownstones in NYC and other places. I forgot to add this to the last message.

Title has apparently been changed — originally The Rise of the Co-Living Start 
Up became “Happy Together, Why give up dorm life?"

Excerpt: “… a renovated four-story brownstone in the Crown Heights neighborhood 
of Brooklyn. The building, Kennedy’s new home, is run by the co-living startup 
Common, which offers what it calls “flexible, community-driven housing.” 
Co-living has also been billed as “dorms for grown-ups,” a description that 
Common resists. But the company has set out to restore a certain subset of 
young, urban professionals to the paradise they lost when they left college 
campuses—a furnished place to live, unlimited coffee and toilet paper, a sense 
of belonging.”
