Residents at Burlington Cohousing East Village are moving into their new units but are dogged by an unresolved issue with their neighbors about the sale of a buffer zone between them and neighboring single family homes.
The article does a good job of presenting the dispute fairly and gives a nice montage of life in cohousing. I got a smile out of this quote from one of the neighbors:
“One of the problems is there is no one in charge.” Cohousing’s “corporate structure dictates that everything (including a resolution of the land dispute) has to be decided in meetings, and they have to have a meeting to decide if they’re going to have a meeting,” Keller said.
