How many times have you joked with your friends about buying that big vacation house on the beach or about living together in your retirement a la The Golden Girls? It doesn't have to be a joke. For many people, it's a realistic solution to housing affordability and loneliness crises. This week's guests Amy McKenna, a managing broker of Windermere Real Estate Company, and Ruby Grynberg, Branch Manager at Salmon Bay Community Lending, talk to us about how cohousing can (with a bit of planning) be the perfect solution for you and your friends.

Amy McKenna (managing broker at Windermere Real Estate Company) and Ruby Grynberg (Branch Manager of Salmon Bay Community Lending) created “CoHome” - a community platform for education and connection because they saw a yearning for ingrained community and more affordable housing and at the same time a feeling of helplessness about how to attain them.
