There have been plans for several years to build a <a href="http://www.boulder-dushanbe.org/" rel="nofollow">cyber cafe</a> as our gift back to Boulder's sister city, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, for their gift of <a href="http://www.boulderteahouse.com/" rel="nofollow">The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse</a>. One interesting result that can occur in a cultural timeshare is the disconnect within languages. This can be exciting, but is oftentimes intimidating for certain people. I like the language of creativity as it seems to be universal. What is your language of creativity? Scottan Maybe we should get away from the word ‘timeshare.’

The timeshare concept would include a place to stay, allowing the individual(s) an opportunity to experience living in Downtown Boulder, as well as an opportunity to give back to the community. This could be just as beneficial for someone from the area as it might be for an out-of-towner, as it would allow interaction with the downtown business and cultural communities. As prices (both commercial and residential) continue to rise, the timeshare could allow people to make a creative and / or social impact on the city without the high cost associated with living and working downtown.

I'm not sure what you mean by giving back to the community in a "creative" way. I can think of some different levels of contributions, such as a visiting executive donating time to a local high school by giving classroom presentations on his/or her profession, or a vacationing couple volunteering to work on local trails or other open space projects. Perhaps an advertising or graphics design guru might donate a simple design for a community project. Is this what you are looking for? I'm not sure how the value of the two-week stay would be recuperated and who would decide each gesture's worth. Cynthia This is a great idea, I think!
