Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: co-op house within cohousing community

[John Carver (jcarver]

It might help to clarify a couple of things.
First, what does "identifying as a co-op" mean? Is there a registered 
cooperative on title on the property, or are the occupants just 
referring to themselves as a "co-op"? Is it a group of people that own 
the unit?

Also, what is the ownership structure of the community? Most cohousing 
in N America is strata titled, like a condominium, but other structures 
are possible and would determine how the individual units are owned. The 
whole community could be a co-op, for instance.
