Anyone got a spare million or so to set up a cohousing intentional community then?

    Ditto. So long as it’s a sustainable intentional community.

    How about 2 million?

    Chris, can you find again that hotel we were looking at - the one with loads of bedrooms, except some of them weren’t in the house?
    That was cheap! I wonder whether it could be converted to something useful …

    Oooh, Alison, that’s more like it. Sorry Jax, yours was just too far away. One for the North, one for the South maybe?!

    Hi Jemmo - that was the intention - and why we’d need more than the 890,000 the buildings cost, ‘cos we’d need some land as well. Alison, that really does look rather gorgeous - yes, why not let’s have two while we’re dreaming ;)

    Ohh very nice. But apparently there is a co-housing community 20 minutes from here. I’ve always wondered what those wooden houses were and now I know! If only it wasn’t in Stroud, I might be tempted!

    Look at the location of this….probably not big enough for more than two and a half families…. :-(

    I regularly have a mooch around this sort of thing on the web - but know I couldn’t hack it! I know a couple who live in an intentional community and she assures me they really don’t live in each other’s pockets and she gets loads of her own space - I guess you don’t know till you’ve tried, but I remain dubious. I wouldn’t mind a community-village so to speak though.

    I could live in a sort of centerparcs type one - own houses and stuff but not in a melrose type one. I’d get way too stressed!
