Part 6/8:
The encroachment of retirement age influences much of community life, but there is an influx of families and younger adults. Cohousing remains a viable living option, balancing the needs of elderly members while ensuring spaces are family-friendly.
Collective Responsibilities
The residents also share responsibilities within the community. Cleaning of shared spaces, gardening duties, and occasional projects occur on a volunteer basis, with some opting to take an impartial role in keeping common areas tidy. This communal ethic fosters a sense of ownership and pride in the environment, allowing for a cooperative rather than competitive mentality among neighbors.
