We have done a tour of Monterey Cohousing and just getting into the process. So far it looks a bit more urban than yours, but who knows? Anyone interested in joining us should contact me.

Are you going to be doing any follow up on what was discussed? I am presently enrolled in a certification program for Sustainable Design, and working on a new venture capitol proposal for an organic small plot farming idea. I would love to get together with you to discuss this. Bruce,

Is this the property near Viking Terrace? We love the idea but would be hard-pressed to move beyond walking distance from St. Olaf, where my wife works. I'm impressed with what you are proposing for energy generation, also the mixed-use idea. I wonder if other co-housing projects have been mixed-use. Maybe one good business to have there would be a daycare or nursery school. Be sure to mention any overlap of the Greenway Corridors or park bikeway plan with the project! I don't know if I'll be able to attend, due to a death in my wife's family, but I hope I can. Great work, Bruce! Is this the property near Viking Terrace?
