RE: Introducing me -- Hello from Vancouver Island
Welcome to Steemit @judyroberts! And greetings from down south of you in Port Townsend, Washington!
I'm originally from Denmark, regarded by some as the home of cohousing. Sounds like you are doing it more the Scandinavian way, with apartments and a common space.... a lot of communities in the US seem more along the lines of "groups of hippies in the woods with trailers."
Anyway, hope you enjoy Steemit! Takes a little while to get established and develop a following... but well worth the effort, in the long run!
Thank you, denmarkguy.
Denmark as the home of cohousing. Yes, indeed. One of the founders of my cohousing community spent several months studying such communities in Denmark. I think that was related to a Masters thesis he was doing in economics. In any event, he returned to Nanaimo -- on Vancouver Island -- and started talking about cohousing to anyone who would listen. What started with many conversations around his kitchen table eventually came to fruition as a cohousing community.
As for Steemit ....... Yes, I like what I've seen of it so far. I look forward to more "conversations" here.
