Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Home for sale in Swan's Market Cohousing, Oakland CA

[Kathryn McCamant (kmccamant]

I know that housing prices are often a shock for those who have not been in the 
market recently, and particularly in our more expensive cities. I also am 
frustrated by the cost of housing, and particularly new housing of all sorts 
including cohousing, and the ever growing gap between what people can afford 
and what it cost in the current American system. I encourage all of you to call 
your Congresspeople and demand we make housing a basic right, and then fund 
that right with our taxes.

That said, I took a look at the home available at Swans, and it looks like a 
great, very well-priced (ie a deal! could never build it for that price in 
Oakland today, by a third).

I launched the Swan’s Community many years (decades) ago…. And could tell you 
stories of its earliest forming, but no one asked me or is paying me for 
this….just my own opinion.
