Cohousing, What’s it like?

March 16, 2019 by Stowe Farm

Ben Brock Johnson's NPR article about cohousing

“What’s weird is being conditioned by society to not know your neighbors at all.”

Ben Brock Johnson does a wonderful job of describing cohousing in his article he wrote for NPR: The Case For Cohousing: Where Responsibilities Are Shared And Life Is A Little Less Lonely

“I love telling people I meet that I live in a hippie commune.

This is a lie. Or really it’s a joke, designed to prompt questions that I’m eager to answer. I actually live in a cohousing community, and not only is it far from weird — I think it should be a lot more common.”

Thank you, David, for sending us this article.
