Thank you for the honest comments on diversity in communities. I'm with a small forming community and those are perspectives that are important to us as we set out.

I was glad to hear the black young lady's experience. I have been contemplating moving into a community but I always noticed that there weren't too many african Americans in the communities. I often wondered how it would be and i thought it would be all peaches and roses since the community has a common goal. It was illuminating to realize that when living in a community we still have to deal with in grained societal beliefs. Also illuminating was the divorcee's comments on how people still have issues. I appreciate the honesty and the openness. It has helped me to have a more realistic view of different people living together and to be more open to others diversities. Thank you for sharing.

Me too - it was honest, and very true. I live in a co-housing community that isn't particularly diverse (nor is the area we are in) and it's one of the greatest challenges we face.

Nobody forces anyone to live anywhere. People instinctively gravitate towards people like themselves. This is normal.

Yochai Gal I am hoping to build a black community in my hometown of Georgia or the Carolina. But I don’t want to do co housing, I want to buy a cheap city. But to have all of the energy be solar or wind power. Small transit line of electric buses. 1 K-12 school, black owned bank, theater, pharmacy. A hospital, etc. with everything being energy operated, rent will be extremely low. I also want all the food to be from farms in our city, so you spend way less on food being that it’s from a farmer down the street. Hoping to combine a nursing home with a charitable hospital so older African Americans can live for free (:

Thank you for including Edith Lewis. I greatly appreciated hearing her honest telling of her experience as a Black person/family in primarily White co-housing. It’s a needed perspective.

When the Bible was taught and when massive drugs and unknown foreign operatives were not being shipped in it was called neighbors and friends. Don't be fooled by this socialistic communist soft sell we all know where it goes.

This is great. I've wanted to know more about those communities for some time now. I'd love for some of Ann Arbors neighborhoods to integrate more co-living ideas into the community.

This is my DREAM community, and I live just ten minutes down the road, but the economic disparity is HUGE. I have never seen a condo in this community go up for sale for less than $330,000. They will never achieve diversity without affordable housing.

A smaller one was sold for $260K in 2023 and a similar for $280K this year… I know this is still a lot of money 😢

They don't need diversity. In fact, it goes against their mission to live well together.

We are doing this 😆🙏 I love that 3 of the major eco/Conscious / intentional communities websites lists thousands of communities, that are generally doing this! 1. Fellowship for Intentional Community 2. Global Eco Village Network 3. NuMondo The world is One Global Village, & we are to see this fully manifest in our lifetime! 🌈
