Hi Robert, We know that the Recession had a big negative role against cohousing... and beyond that, I shudder to think about all that you attempted to cope with while organizing the cohousing group. Very Probably this is not adequate consolation, but I want to thank you for all of your efforts. I'm certain that you dealt with tons of frustrations while working with people. My partner and I are still attracted to cohousing. We're wondering if a slightly different form of neighborhood would be a better way to go forward, like Pocket Neighborhoods, as Ross Chapin calls them. Let us know if you both are inclined to try again in the future ? Again, thank you for all of your patience and work in this project. Happy holidays, Alan VanEss and Richard Daley
