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.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
Hi Bridget, it is good to hear that the move to Sacramento is working out so well.
Co-housing makes sense on so many levels. I'm open to more than one geographical area, but kinda prefer the Keys.

God, imagine the library (of all types of media)!

The library would RULE.
Hey, Laura, you're okay down there? I saw Palm Beach got hammered yesterday.
