I believe not only does it take a village to raise a child, but it takes a village for individuals to feel truly supported in life. Cohousing appeals to us because we love the ability to have some privacy for our own family, while living in a community where people care about and support one another for the greater good of all. Honestly, we do not like the concept of capitalism and are looking for a community which cherishes and supports each individual and family, regardless of material wealth or income.
