[Lekooks] Variations of COHOUSING

[Barbara Hoel]

How diverse is the community?   I love the idea and the design but wonder
if it is just for "privileged" people.  My sister owned a house in a
planned community in Colorado with diverse housing that included low income
housing all the way to "mc mansions."
