About this Event
Oaklandside reports that Caltrans is considering removing I-980. Residents old and new have many ideas for how to use that space. This conversation requires nuance and must keep an eye towards the history of the relations between humans and the land, and how life there may be good and promote flourishing into the future.
One option is known as "cohousing." This communal style of living arrived in the US in the late 20th-century and has spread to many part of the country. In fact, there are already cohousing communities in Oakland.
Leading cohousing architect Charles Durrett of The Cohousing Company will talk about his recent book, . A detailed case study of a new cohousing community in Napa County, Valley View Senior Housing, he will share lessons learned, how a project in an urban environment should adapt, and the history of the cohousing movement generally. Finally we will place this into the context of Oakland's past and the political concerns of people today and to come.
