Portland Oregon! It’s such a forward-looking city.

A number of my older, single women friends  (as in my age . . . late 50s, early 60s) are having the conversation about how we want to live in our retirement. One answer that keeps coming up: co-housing in an urban environment . . . a group of small, detached cottages plus a larger “common house” (maybe) for gathering. Portland qualifies in my book as a possible site.

Even though I’m not much of a bicycle rider these days, I “hang” with that tribe (that would be my son and his friends). A bicycle assembly station. At the airport no less.

p.s. Be sure to check out more of the Springwise site. Creativity, small entrepreneurship and environmental awareness are blooming around the world. It’s inspiring!
