This is great, Fred! An important topic. I hope someone will take up this line of research! CRN would definitely support it! I am attaching the full article you found in our biblio.

All the best,

Recently I became aware that Placitas Sage Cohousing in Placitas, NM
had decided to abandon their efforts to establish a cohousing community.
I did a little digging and while doing that came across something
from Raines Cohen about learning from failed attempts.  I agree there
mcuh to learn from failure.

Today I got to wondering about a list of attempts to establish
cohousing communites that did not succeed.
Has anyone have such a list?

A quick look at http://www.cohousingresearchnetwork.org/bibliography/
did not find much.  One citation:
"Sun, Surf and Sustainable housing -- cohousing, the Californian Experience."
International Planning Studies 10.2 (2005): 145-77. includes the statment:
An international comparison of the experience of cohousing in the UK
and California and the factors influencing success and failure of
cohousing in both locations are then explored.

I started a simple web page list at http://l.cohousing.org/directory
It currently has just failed communities I've been in and Placitas Sage

I did explore what archived Coho/US directories exist that could be a
source of information:

Has some early lists (early 1990'2?) of communites before the
directory was set up.

The paper FIC printed directories would have some cohousing communities
