=Internet cafe?= User Fasten added "internet cafes" to the list of cohousing facilities. I've never heard of a community with such a thing (mine has wireless access and coffee in the common house, but not in a "cafe" format). Is this a real thing? I'm inclined to remove it.

 * I agree it shoudl be removed... a specific 'internet cafe' space in a cohousing development doesn't make sense - most groups I know of have wireless everywhere, or at least most common spaces. The common house itself is basically an 'internet cafe'.  Remove.  dbs 04:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * There is a massive amount of material on specific aspects of cohousing, such as design (A Pattern Language, Not So Big House); consensus decision-making; smart growth and so on. You may wish to narrow your search down to either a physical/design focus or a social/organizational one.  There are some good general references to start with.  McCamant and Durrett's Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves is the most authoritative work on cohousing.  Chris and Kelly ScottHanson's The Cohousing Handbook: Building a Place for Community is a good basic reference.  Both list references.
 * Here are some additional references that you might find useful:
 * Several issues of Communities Journal of Cooperative Living have had dealt with aspects of cohousing. One issue (No. 106. Spring 2000) was entirely devoted to cohousing.  Some of the articles are available online at: http://fic.ic.org/cmag/cmaglist.html
 * Some resources compiled by the Cohousing Association of the U.S. (Coho/US): http://www.cohousing.org/cohousing-resources.aspx
 * A bibliography: http://www.grahammeltzer.com/cohousing/index.htm
 * If you indicate what direction you want to take, I may be able to suggest further resources. Sunray 20:22, 2004 Nov 26 (UTC)

I'd like to look at design concepts for cohousing. What works, what has not worked in the past, and what the direction of cohousing is aiming for in the future. My e-mail is mburkeb@gmu.edu e-mail may be quicker. Thanks! ~Paloma

Restructured
I restructured the article a bit by moving the list of cohousing characteristics to its own section and rewriting the section to seem like less of a checklist and a little more like an encyclopedia article rather than a pitch (though, it might still read that way to some degree). The section now needs additional citations, but I don't think I added much new content; the need for citations is just more apparent in the prose form.
