Cohousing?

I’m work­ing on my final project for the tech­ni­cal writ­ing course, which is a com­par­i­son of cohous­ing devel­op­ments to single-​​family and more tra­di­tional multi-​​family hous­ing. I’m find­ing it dif­fi­cult to find any of the books I want to use as ref­er­ences in the library (school or two coun­ties). Do any of you who are local hap­pen to have books on the sub­ject? Copies of Com­mu­ni­ties mag­a­zine, maybe? I’d appre­ci­ate a chance to look at such things rather than need­ing to buy them via Amazon!

    Sorry about that. For inter­views with cohousers on key top­ics, watch the doc­u­men­tary “Voices of Cohous­ing. Rebuild­ing vil­lages in the city”, award win­ner at the 34th Eko­top­film fes­ti­val 2007 and nom­i­nated at 9th Gold Panda Awards. Eas­ily acces­si­ble online http://​not​socrazy​.net. Enjoy!

    You could try using Inter­Loan through your library. That’s where you can order books in from other libraries if your own one doesn’t have it. School libraries don’t usu­ally charge for this service.

    Hope this helps :)

    Much of the infor­ma­tion on Cohous­ing is on the Inter­net. The very nov­elty of cohous­ing in most parts of the coun­try ensure loads of blogs and newsgroups.

    Cre­ate an Alert using google or yahoo with the term cohous­ing – you’ll get loads of use­ful links and can fol­low up on the ones you like.

    Good luck.

    I’d be very, very inter­ested in see­ing your final paper. Can you send me a copy?
