I've always felt very isolated, and living alone is expensive! Maybe community living would work for me! I am going to keep researching this. Thanks so much for making this video. I have saved it to my Favorites.

I lived in a household-sized community for eight years. Things cost a lot less -- because we shared rent & utilities & tools & spaces in the house. And much more interesting than living alone. It takes communication skills. Check out Peak moment episode 83, with Diana Leafe Christian, who's written a book about what intentional communities need to be successful.

Oh that's just awesome! I wish I could have found a place like that back when I was in collage. If I did, I might have stayed there.
I wonder, Is the house owned by the group or is it rented? If it's owned, the members could build equity. Buying a piece of a house would certainly be more affordable than buying an entire house.

They're buying the house...so they're building equity. Part of the challenge, as Tree noted, was getting insurance. Companies aren't used to so many people owning a house (actually theirs is two houses with a connection built between them).
