sharing life in brooklyn

I just came across this story on the NYTimes regarding a new communal "co-housing" living project that is taking root in Brooklyn.  It's so fascinating to see that people really are eager to share life together, and after reading the article, I'm terribly impressed with how organized, proactive, and creative this group is in seeking out community.  Heck, I want to join their home!  : )

You gotta read this!!  Leave me a comment with your thoughts about it! Click the title below:

At a “cohousing” project planned for Fort Greene, Brooklyn, the residents will share all decisions and some meals.

I love the idea...though it IS risky. That's a big committment, but it's exciting to see such committment in our individualistic society. I'm living in a very small community house as we like to call it with myself, one family of three and another girl about my age. Of course it has it's challenges...we all eat each other's food, and it's hard to find a quiet space at times, but really it's been an amazing gift. ...thanks for sharing the article! and by the way, i LOVE your blog. very up my alley. --rosanne
