Summary:

The essays and Q&As in 'Living, Together' are about carving out spaces of communal connection and joy in our 3-bed, 2-bath starter home culture. Twenty-one writers and organizers write about found family, hacking adulthood, and other lessons communal living can teach us about the future of housing in America. Although they recount life at different stages and in different regions, these stories showcase the delights and tradeoffs of more dynamic shapes of "home." Across sections on family, intentional community, and what lies beyond housing, readers will hear from voices. 'Living, Together' opens a window into how people in the US are thriving through collective care. This book invites us to imagine what new opportunities for connection exist when we push through the walls society has built for us. -- Provided by publisher.
