One urban lot in south Seattle, with three separate dwelling units. We share laundry and chickens. Right now the units are rented / available to rent but my hope is to transition to shared ownership.
The residences are a two bedroom basement suite and a studio cottage. The cottage is suitable for a single person or couple. House is kid-friendly, with swings and other play structures. I also teach music classes outdoors.
I’m currently the sole owner of the house and want to convert to shared ownership out of a belief in equitable sharing of resources and a desire to create affordable housing that moderate-income people can own.
I’m interested in meeting people who share my vision, especially if they believe in environmental responsibility, personal freedom, and facts before ideology. A love of music, animals and children would also be a good fit.
You would start by writing me an email to introduce yourself.

One person or partnership has ultimate authority.
Generally seek agreement, but have backup methods when consensus isn’t reached.
Power and responsibility are shared relatively equally among members.
As mentioned, the house is currently owned by one person (me) who makes the final decisions on everything. My hope is to transition to a tenants-in-common situation where we have a contract that specifies how we live together. Any changes to the contract, or any major decisions not covered in the contract, would be by consensus.
