I would love that.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I hung out with my cohousing friend for half an hour and someone came by asking her over for wine and someone else dropped by to suggest a movie. The whole "lonely old person" is definitely not a thing for her. It seems pretty much perfect. If my current apartment a) had communal spaces and b) went condo, it would be pretty similar.
ETA: Thanks, Tom. My friend's place is here: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My parents have a group of friends currently aging in place in the 10-unit building they bought 40 years ago. Aside from the lack of elevator, it's pretty sweet.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My plan is to be moving in 6-7 years, so I am going to be all over looking for a place. Buying a whole larger building in a city would be the best thing ever.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Buying a big multi-unit with a bunch of friends in a walkable pleasant small city is really not just a pipe dream, it's doable if enough people can pool enough money. And if everyone agrees on where to live. Ah, there's the sticking point!

Hi, all. I'd just as soon not write much about who I was when I started posting in the Buffy thread on TT. I was pretty repressed and angry, and alienated some people here my first couple of years.
So, let's fast forward. I didn't delurk last year because things were sort of chaotic, because after nine years in the Bay Area, I decided to give Los Angeles a try, and spent the summer there with a friend who's in grad school.
Things didn't work out, so I moved back to the East Bay for a few months, then to Sacramento where I've been since January. I love it here -- I can bike most everywhere I need to go, and after ten years in California, I have my own apartment and don't have to deal with roommates anymore. Life is good.

Nice to see you, Bridget!
I would love a co-housing thing. Now, even, to be quite honest.

We could start seed money for the Buffista Retirement home right now. Because I'm in.
