The Red House
Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada
 We are a communal rented house in Vancouver BC's Strathcona, near Chinatown. We have 5 rooms, filled with 5 roommates. We purchase food and household items communally, and have a chore wheel for bi-monthly and monthly tasks. We each cook dinner once per week. We have irregular consensus-based house meetings. We try to grow some of our own food, but it's a very limited amount in our front yard.
