Cohousing-L Mailing List: Ageism (was re: Cohousing-L Digest, Vol 229, Issue 18)

[Kate C (katetx2001]

This is my first comment. Please let me know if I violate norms or etiquette.
I’m responding to Sharon just to say that this is what I always write in on 
forms, as you said, “ 80 is not 65 just as 65 is not 50. Or 50 is not 35.” 
Maybe if more of us do, there will be changes as there are starting to be on 
gender self-identity.
I am currently beginning to look at issues around Cohousing. Some of my 
concerns are diversity and inclusion, including age. While I can see some 
advantages of senior cohousing, I can’t imagine living without the energy and 
liveliness of younger people. Plus most of the communities seem to be west, 
while ideally, I’d want to be in the Northeast.
Thank you for all the thought-provoking conversation.
