Authors and attorneys, Janelle Orsi and Emily Doskow, have developed a model they call “four degrees of sharing”. The first degree requires minimal cooperation and no planning, while the fourth degree requires extensive cooperation and long-term planning. The whole model can be read here:
They assign sharing rental housing or a single family home to the second degree of sharing. While I agree that there is more cooperation and planning involved than say a neighborhood pot-luck, my take is that the amount of cooperation is dependent on the people sharing. Home sharing could be first degree sharing. It all depends.
What do you think?
