What would it be like to own your home in a thriving community, close to work and school?

Cohousing is housing created with the design input of the residents, according to common goals such as
sustainability, community, and simply living well by sharing more. It includes individual homes supplemented
by shared facilities and common areas. Management is consensus-driven and done by the residents.
There are over two dozen cohousing communities in the Bay Area to date, and it’s about time to build the
first community here in San Francisco! Together we can make it happen.
We hope for residents of all ages and backgrounds, singles, couples, and families. A diversity of uses,
including residential, work/live spaces, and retail storefronts, will enable residents to run businesses within
the community. Shared gardens, open space, and a common house provide opportunities to know your
neighbors, get involved, and live the good life, right here in the best city in the world.

      Here are more details about the location for this March 10-11 workshop: the Richmond District Police station is 1/2 block from Geary Blvd on 6th Avenue, across from Kaiser's French campus. When you get to the police station, please walk down the driveway on either side of the police station. At the back of the police station is a separate building. That annex is where we will meet. There's parking on the streets nearby; please allow about 15 minutes to locate parking.

      Richmond Police Station: There are loads of buses going by this location, including buses on Geary that come from BART. It probably won't take 15 minutes to park but please allow enough time in case you have to keep looking. If you can't find the community room, just go into the police station and they'll direct you.
