This is self-evident to many of us, but it may sometimes be forgotten or overlooked. Co-living is about living together -- being a part of each other's lives and experiences as well as supporting each other through good times and bad. </span></p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"></span></p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The term \"co-living\" is sometimes defined narrowly as a specific type of group cohabitation. The need for more affordable housing has created a market for this type of real estate development, which has sometimes been exploited by those who focus mainly or solely on profits. This has led to allegations of abuses and breaches of trust. One apparent example of this is <a href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/local/articleComments/Silicon-Valley-co-living-start-up-fails-hubhaus-15628436.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HubHaus</a> -- there are others. This is <em><strong>not</strong></em> what we are about.</span></p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"></span></p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">It's important to remember what co-living really ought to represent -- people connecting with each other, creating or nurturing new or existing communities. It can be in the form of cohousing, ecovillages, house sharing, but also food co-ops, community gardens, tool libraries and many other forms of sharing and caring. It's what's at the heart of a community. Co-living is about more than housing and the complexities of providing physical shelter for all -- it's about sustaining our souls.</span></p>"}]}]},{"type":"container","columnLayout":false,"orientation":"horizontal","image":{"src":null,"display":"scale"},"styles":{"block":{"backgroundColor":"transparent"}},"blocks":[{"type":"container","columnLayout":false,"orientation":"vertical","image":{"src":null,"display":"scale"},"styles":{"block":{"backgroundColor":"transparent"}},"blocks":[{"type":"text","text":"<h3><strong>Victory Gardens in Ardmore</strong><span></span></h3>\n<p><span>DVCC member Khenti Pratt works with and actively promotes community gardens, which can be an important way to bring people together and provide fresh produce&nbsp; ---&nbsp; <a href=\"https://savvymainline.com/2020/09/16/ardmore-shopkeeper-kicked-when-shes-down-waynes-warm-hooray-for-victory-gardens-lawn-sign-saga-setting-a-tasty-table-more/#victorygardens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">read an article</a> about&nbsp; <a href=\"https://www.ardmorevictorygardens.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ardmore Victory Gardens,</a> a group she is coordinating.</span><span></span></p>\n<p><span></span></p>\n<p>There will be a Tree Planting event on Saturday, October 17 2020 at 12:30 PM.
