Kalamazoo, Michigan,
United States
 We are a diverse group seeking to form an urban community that balances solidarity with independence. there are children among us, so we intend to stay in K-zoo to take advantage of the Kalamazoo promise (free college for graduates of the public schools). our vision is to be not just a housing co-op but to work together in economic enterprises; sevices, crafts, gardening... also, we see eachother as family so love is the first rule, all else derivitive of that.
