this sounds nice. i so long for a cohousing situation. my mom and i have been discussing it for her, me-soph-popop, possibly family friends sandy and larry (sandy is her best friend from high school and they are basically family), and maybe some other folks (my brother or cousin, tho they're awfully Urban for want of a better word and not really into it; i'd love to get
pfarley and
veritatem in on it too; neighbors allison and maggy; most of the Mamas, the list goes on). I'm casually keeping an eye out for any properties in the bay area that seem doable, tho we haven't yet discussed what doable means, except that everyone knows i'm broke so the REAL grownups involved would be purchasing and i'd be doing a lease-to-own kinda deal.
it's obviously totally in the air, and just in the discussion phase, and we don't even know what we're looking for, but i enjoy fantasizing about it.
