As others have mentioned cohousing and intentional communities would also fit the bill. Search the web for “Ravenna Kibbutz” for a (mostly but not all Jewish) commune in Seattle.

I think it would be great to better unite humanity, especially in this age of alienisation due to higher work demands for success. Communes of friends and families can all mix together well, and society really could benefit from it. Granted, I have high faith in the possibilities of man, but nonetheless this is a practical idea that should be embraced to benefit all with our growing populations, etc. I’ve heard of furthered developments to promote the cohousing experience, which could essentially stick multiple families together in a single, accommodating house.

It seems like "kidults" are gravitating to the idea naturally. Here's a link: http://www.cohousing.org/default.aspx<br><br /> You guys should do a follow up piece on the co-housing movement.

lights of a sunrise

disappear behind

a melody I hear

the song of

a beautiful sparrow,

the sound of a

rank and the rising

beginning now

reflecting the pain.

Let us be the generation that is open-minded and tolerant enough to accept the living choices made by others, whether traditional, bohemian, or something else.
