Greensboro Collective House Featured in New York Times

Inviting Anarchy Into My Home, an article by the GCAC's Liz Seymour was published in the New York Times on Thursday, March 9th. In it, she writes about her experience in one of Greensboro's collective house's:

"On Aug. 1, 2002, I left behind the comfortably roomy semicircle marked 'married-couple household' on the Census Bureau pie chart and slipped into an inconspicuous wedge labeled 'two or more people, nonfamily.' Having separated from my husband of 28 years the day before, I opened our three-bedroom 1927 Colonial Revival house to a group of men and women less than half my age. Overnight, the home I had lived in for 12 years became a seven-person anarchist collective, run by consensus and fueled by punk music, curse-studded conversation and food scavenged from Dumpsters."
