Cohousing-L Mailing List: An RV Cohousing Community

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

There is another list that discusses the importance of dark skies in urban 
areas. A companion list is for the formation of the Mirador, a community 
focused on Dark Sky advocacy with an education center etc. Included they are 
planning an RV park and rental units for short stays and a cohousing community 
directed to those who want to live under dark skies and will probably work in 
the educational center and observatory. If you want to

I’m passing on the content of one thought about planning options.

It’s an interesting discussion. Looking for space in western Texas and New 
Mexico. Something about the skies there.
