Cohousing-L Mailing List: Policy Committee & Condo law and Cohousing?

[Ann Lehman (ann]

Hi Folks,

We at the national level would like to start a Legislative Policy Committee
and are encouraging all who are interested to join.  It won't be until the
Fall but please *let me know if you are interested.*  The focus (still
being formed) would be to highlight legislative successes, offer models for
others, and advocate for changes that encourage more cohousing.

On that note, we had an interesting discussion at our PDX Plus meeting on
Saturday (July 13th).  It involved the sometimes unnatural hoops we jump
through to fit our bylaws into condo law.  I'm curious if anyone has tried
(or succeeded) in changing condo laws or any other housing law to not only
accommodate cohousing but to actually highlight it?

Best,

Annie
