There has been much interest of late in retirement, assisted-living,
catered-for-your-lifestyle & cohousing communities-neighborhoods
exclusively for Gay & Lesbian
single and partnered couples.

These would be built in areas of North America that have shown
themselves to be ` open ` to such communities/ventures.
Areas such as MS, AL, GA, LA, AZ, NM, NV, CA dare I say it---even
TX, etc. would be options where, with careful planning, the land,
building costs, living costs, etc. are reasonably inexpensive. ( "
Sister "-forgive the word-communities for beach bums, sailors,
RVers,
etc. might be feasible in coastal Sonora ( e.g. San Carlos, Kino Bay) &

Baja California ( e.g. Loreto, La Paz), MX. and
some sort of monitored swapping/exchange of housing could be arranged
between the various communities' owners---variety being, as they say-
the " spice of life ".)


For the most part, sunnier climes would be favored.


The communities would be marketed to maturer Gays & Lesbians through
mailings, the Internet ( Groups on Yahoo!, Google, MSN, etc. known to
be favored by ` alternative lifestyle ` guys & gals), through TV,
thru' CoHousingUSA.org., radio, print ads, word-of-mouth, etc.


Both single residences, condos, shared and fractional ownership, time-
share ownership & assisted-living facilities would be explored.


Businesses & professionals ( e.g, Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants,
maintenance folks, police, firemen, etc.) who are of like ilk to
ourselves would be recruited to live in & give their professional
services to these communities.


Considering our benefit to some smaller towns & cities across America
(& MX) and the potential added value to these regions, our presence
would
be welcomed.


This is a feasibility study, and is directed at folks who might have
an opinion on these matters & who might, given the right set of
circumstances, be interested in ownership, renting, leasing, part-time
living, etc. in such communities.


The Doctor behind this invitation for input is Dr. Chris Cronin ( MD,
MBA) &
your opinions/ideas/comments are invited, nay, solicited, to:

I thank you for your interest and time,

Gay and lesbian housing is in high demand among folks dreaming of
retiring to the Sea of Cortez? Pray tell....... :-)

There are certainly representative percentages of gays and lesbians
involved with boating. I once belonged to a yacht club where the
"couple" that owned one of the boats consisted of two guys. There were
a handful of members in the club who one would suspect, based on the
rest of their social and political values, might have some serious
difficulty socializing with a same-sex couple but the marvelous thing
was that the common bond of being boaters and members of the same club
seemed to trump any concerns about the non-conformist lifestyle issues.
The couple published the club newsletter for several years. There is
also a well known and highly respected marine journeyman in our region
who is lesbian, but (as it should be) she is far better known for
her excellent workmanship and pleasant personality than her sexuality.
While she doesn't keep her sexuality a secret (she freely discussed it
with a reporter from one of the major daily newspapers) neither does
she flaunt it.

I have a relative who is lesbian. She's a great friend, and a super person.
I love taking her fishing. I've also got a very good friend who is gay.
Real nice guy.

I've no problem with either on a one to one basis. I *do* have a problem
with idea that their sexual preferences should get forced down the throats
of kids in public schools and be taught as a 'normal' lifestyle. I'm also
not thrilled by the San Francisco gay parades.

Maybe I'm bad.

I'm hoping to come back as a really gorgeous lesbian in my next life.

Why not a woman's bicycle seat?

Shame on you, you pervert!

I have to agree to a point. What I learned when I lived out there is
that the gays seem to want to flaunt it...to shock. Or perhaps it's
just that after having been persecuted for so long, they feel the need
to show the world, whatever. But it did seem to me that the public
groping, etc was over the line. Heterosexual couples harder ever act
that way in public.

A lot of the Gays out here, hate the SF crowd. Gives them a bad name. They
live a fairly normal life in the 'Burbs.
