We’ve been talking about building community centers and fighting urban sprawl. Now a look at one attempt to connect residents to each other though co-housing. Craig Jarvie has a profile of Two Echo, a housing development in Brunswick, Maine. He produced this piece at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland; you can listen to Craig's story at the Public Radio Exchange.
