She is also the Founder of Kindred Quarters in California and published the first book on Coliving in 2018: The Coliving Code. One of the biggest problems plaguing modern society is real estate and social challenges. People are signing away their paychecks on rent and feeling increasingly isolated. Christine is on a personal mission to solve these problems through the CoLiving movement by helping redefine the term ‘housemate’ with something meaningful, sustainable, and flexible on a global level. People now are choosing access over ownership and new real estate projects need to be built specifically for the way humans are now deciding to live together. These interviews feature experts in the field who share their own successes and journeys. Enjoy! ---- ►How to best connect with Christine McDannell and learn more about Kndrd.io….
