InHabitLA

We had the opportunity to meet members of inHabitLA , a los angeles group planning cohousing. http://www.imstudio.us/inhabitla/about.html Thank you for inviting us to brunch last week and making us feel so welcome!

They have a clear vision and hope to start the project near a transit friendly location in Los Angeles in the next few years, with many of the steps happening now . We look forward to more discussions and ways for people interested in intentional communities to connect.
