A movement that began in Europe has taken hold in North America because it provides some real answers for the increasing number of people who stop to look at where and how they live and at their impact on the environment. Cohousing is a way for a group of people to work together to develop places to live that offer both privacy and community, with the values of an old-fashioned neighborhood—safety, independence, mutual concern. Delivering more bang for the buck, this innovative approach to housing is challenging the formidable housing problems we face—and it’s succeeding.
