That's great that you've got Jeanne Goodman on -- I just visited her last week at Jamaica Plain cohousing. Very impressive what they've created there, and the degree of engagement with their neighbors.
However, I wouldn't say that cohousing is so unusual these days... with nearly 100 built communities and 100 under development across the country according to the Cohousing Association of the United States (Coho/US), it really is becoming mainstream -- so far mainly in clusters around Denver, the SF Bay Area, Seattle, Portland, New England, the D.C. area, and the NC Research Triangle, but more are popping up all over, including one in Lawrence, Kansas just moving in this month.
I noticed that your post didn't include a link to the under-development EcoVillage at JP, the housing element of which is now called Stony Brook Cohousing.

Thanks for stopping by and the EcoVillage link.
Best,
