Imagine lively people-scaled  communities dotting the San Francisco Bay Area - places co-created by their residents for raising kids, for  retirement, for growing food or simply  living well by sharing more.

  Hello Young Crickets! This is a group that originally started out as searching for Chaat Houses in the SF area.  However, we decided to eeeeeexxxxxxpand the venue to San Francisco Landmark restaurants. Honestly, we weren't able to find that many Chaat Houses in this area. And thus, Just Chaat and More was born! I will be posting a list of Landmark Restaurants that we can visit-  the city (and beyond?) is our oyster? Until we eat the oyster? Hmmm, let's find out!   Thanks!   Karen

I want to create an intentional community for animal lovers who want to travel. We will take care of each others' pets. Additional goals are to live more sustainably (grow vegetables, have chickens and a goat, share a car or a truck, use solar power) and more sociably (share meals, conversations, morning yoga, perhaps massages and a hottub). Creative people with experience in gardening and construction are particularly welcome.

Not all real estate investments are the same. You can invest in bare land, single family, office buildings, warehouses, mini storage, apartments, and many other asset types. With so many options available, investors are left with the question: What makes one asset type better, safer, or easier to manage than another? We will focus on investments in the manufactured housing industry. How have billionaire investors like Warren Buffet and Sam Zell made hundreds of millions in this industry? Learn …

These days, most of the dance clubs and social meetup groups are focused on music from the 80s and later, from hair metal to house to hip-hop to funk/R&B to DJ mashups and the like. What is missing is a group with an emphasis on live band music from oldies rock and roll, to classic 60s rock (the British invasion, beach music, folk and acid rock, etc.) through the more popular 70s rock (Eagles, Doobies, etc.) You know the kind of music I am talking about! Well, THIS IS IT! Dancing to live music …

Cohousing is housing created with the design input of the residents, according to common goals such as sustainability, community, and simply living well by sharing more. It includes individual homes supplemented by shared facilities and common areas. Management is consensus-driven and done by the residents. There are over two dozen cohousing communities in the Bay Area to date, and it’s about time …
