Welcome to Southside CoHo!

I realize that it’s probably premature to give this hypothetical project a name, but I had to call it something, so there it is.  At this point, at least it will make things simpler than repeatedly referring to it as “a potential cohousing community in South Seattle” (and it makes for a much shorter URL).  Names aside, I’m really hoping for some good exchange of questions, ideas, and suggestions about what this could become.

While the bulk of this conversation will (and should) take place in the “real world” and not on some blog, I thought we might be able to use both mediums together.  If folks decide that it’s too cumbersome or awkward or just plain weird to post ideas here, then I’m totally fine with just moving it offline.  But in the meantime, amidst the difficulty of arranging multiple schedules of busy people, I hope this will be some food for thought.

I do want to get together in person soon, and those I’ve spoken with or those who have expressed interest will be hearing from me shortly.  I’m very much looking forward to our time together.  A quick technical note: if you’d like to be invited as a contributor so you can post in your name or make other edits, let me know by email (davidpl at gmail dot com).

Also, I’ve arranged the site in 3 areas: community, design, and location.  I hope these categories make sense.  Naturally, they tend to overlap and interact a bit, but I split them up to help guide the different types of conversations that (I think) need to be had at this point.
