Community
We consider ourselves a community, not just roommates. For the past 4 years, our version of community-focused housing has included weekly meals together, house meetings every other week to be able to make decisions together, shared activities and work projects, and getting involved in the neighborhood.
Other ideals we strive toward:
- Direct communication and active conflict resolution, nonviolent communication
- Outings, activities and hosting gatherings, parties, etc. as a house
- Organized chore rotation
- Lots of plants, “green”-mindedness, recycling, composting, etc.
- We value diversity, want to be involved in our neighborhood and social justice organizations, foster creativity, and the community
- Queer- and poly-friendly
- We are respectful of ethical and other dietary restrictions, but some of us are omnivores, so we wouldn’t have a strictly vegetarian or vegan house
All in all, we want some structure, but we don’t want it to be overbearing. We want to build community, share experiences, have fun, and enrich our lives and the lives of those we share community with.
