East Bay Cohousing - Berkeley/Oakland/Emeryville/SF area“ We're trying to be a hub for community connections, a networking forum for shared living resources of all sorts: cohousing, co-ops, EcoVillages, group houses -- you name it. We bring in guest speakers, do slide shows and movie nights, and highlight openings in existing communities, but the #1 thing people are most looking for is other people on the same journey, to learn from each other and go down the path together. Come, learn, explore, and get the support you need. ”

“ There seem to be quite a few people, especially close to retirement age, willing to live in a smaller place but close to a real down town. We should build on this experience and allow for more in depth discussions around concrete opportunities.

These meetings help us to keep our possibilities open and to see if we can find the ideal situation to raise our families. These meeting can add support, safety and security within the co-housing community to discuss possibilities and also discuss crucial issues we deal with on many levels. ”

“ A valuable resource. I have my doubts about its name, because what seems most important to it is something other than a particular structure, and there seems to be a vacuum in the rest of the intentional-community space, so it would perhaps make sense to generalize the name and thus better reflect the true mission. One person has reported to me that "cohousing" is understood throughout one cooperative as synonymous with "commune" and thus as something to be dreaded. That may be an exaggeration, but to the extent it is true it may signify that as a brand it doesn't connote reassuring eclecticism and tolerance for diverse communitarian aspirations. ”

“ All levels of opportunies exist for home ownership in communities of liked-minded people. The trick is in getting the right people together at the right time to improve the planet, one neigborhood at a time. This group tries to do that and if you find an opportunity that doesn't work for you, pehaps you can tell someone who will benefit. In fact such discussions with others may help you to find what you are looking for. It is all part of the exchange of ideas, and that is how we make this a better world. ”
— David Kirwin on Jan 13, 2010.
