After a brief hiatus, we're back! 

In Season 2 Episode 1 of the Coliving Circle Podcast we interview Matthew Ryan, the President of Re-viv, a Private Equity Investment Company that acquires and develops housing in up-and-coming neighborhoods.

In this episode, we discuss…

2) What is the model behind that  

3) What was your thesis behind it?  

4) Why didn’t it work?  

5) As it related specifically to the Bay Area, one of the most expensive places to live in the world, how does that impact housing costs in general in that area?

In this interview, I have the pleasure of interviewing Karin Hoskin, an Executive Director of CoHo.Us, a non-profit dedicated to the health and expansion of cohousing.  I wanted to interview Karin and understand the relationships between cohousing and coliving among other things.

This is one of my favorite interviews as we discuss the following topics.   

- What is cohousing? 

- What attracted her to cohousing 

- How coliving and cohousing are both under the intentional housing umbrella 

- Cohousing v. Coliving. What's the difference? 

- If there is any rivalry between cohousing and coliving 

- Culture of cohousing

- How cohousing is reacting to the coronavirus 

- How cohousing is far more equipped for social distancing than coliving 

- Negative stereotypes about cohousing 1) commune 2) "older white people" - Senior cohousing
