Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Fw: Update from Riderwood Village

[Muriel Kranowski (murielk]

Katie's response to Sharon's note made me grateful that we have just the
one community listserv. There have been occasional murmurs from people who
think separate  subgroups would be nice to have, but so far they haven't
achieved liftoff, and I hope that will continue as I prefer all of our
messages to show up in my email without my having to choose which ones to
follow.

Re Sharon's remark that Riderwood is like a bigger, more complex version of
cohousing, based on her description, it sounds totally unlike cohousing to
me. Residents are just residents; they can't even freely communicate with
each other or with the staff, let alone participate in making the decisions
that will affect them. It may be a really good place to live, but it
doesn't sound much like cohousing.
