Burlington Cohousing in dispute with neighbors
Residents at Burlington Cohousing East Village are moving into their new units but are dogged by an unresolved issue with their neighbors about the sale of a buffer zone between them and neighboring single family homes.
The article does a good job of presenting the dispute fairly and gives a nice montage of life in cohousing. I got a smile out of this quote from one of the neighbors:
"One of the problems is there is no one in charge." Cohousing's "corporate structure dictates that everything (including a resolution of the land dispute) has to be decided in meetings, and they have to have a meeting to decide if they're going to have a meeting," Keller said.

We're happy to report that the land in dispute has now been transferred to the neighbors via a quit claim deed, for a mutually agreed upon price, with mutually agreed upon limitations on the land's use.
