Cost of living is high, but not really any worse than the Boston or Chicago areas. I don't know much about having a disability here, but it doesn't snow often (if mobility in winter weather is a concern), public transit is good, and Gallaudet is in DC and there's a strong Deaf community. <BR/><BR/>Other places: the Twin Cities (surprisingly diverse, or at least I was surprised), Houston (fairly conservative but cheap and diverse--and big enough to find like-minded folks), Austin, Portland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804257678562112660.post-80740053049447643832008-06-25T18:15:00.000-06:002008-06-25T18:15:00.000-06:00Burlington VT voted as a city to keep Whole Foods ...Burlington VT voted as a city to keep Whole Foods out of downtown because they knew the city could only support one major grocery store and they wanted to keep their Food Coop.<BR/><BR/>Our good friends who settled here (and thus recruited us here) were seriously considering Burlington.<BR/><BR/>For coho info:<BR/>http://lists.cohousing.org/mailman/listinfo/cohousing-lfostermamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892654110641448023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804257678562112660.post-44428279713422089022008-06-15T05:29:00.000-06:002008-06-15T05:29:00.000-06:00I'm in VT :) I think Burlington and/or Brattlebor...I'm in VT :) I think Burlington and/or Brattleboro are great choices. If you are going up to Burlington, you should stop off in Montpelier on your way. VT is pretty white, but also very accepting, ime. Burlington has the most racial diversity in the state, I'd say.<BR/><BR/>And VT is *way* more affordable than MA. There is a new cohousing community in Burlington (called Burlington Cohousing, I believe!) and a much more established one in Hartland (near White River Junction). I can look up the name of that one if you want me too.Elsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005299025859210576noreply@blogger.com
