By defining these models in law, councils and investors can finally back them. This is about building community wealth instead of private profit — and putting people first, so that everyone can thrive.

We've created a #StarterPack of #cohousing neighborhoods on BlueSky, both established & in formation. Who else should be on this list? We can include similar groups like #HousingCoops and #ecovillages so long as they share mix of privacy & community, resident leadership ... bsky.app/starter-pack...
For some, #HousingCoops can be a forever home in community. For others, just getting any form of #homeownership is the essential piece; if all your income goes to rent, how do you save? This is a piece of the puzzle.
Boulder, Colorado is the US city with the most #cohousing neighborhoods... and laws, tools, and advocates that have led to lots of #HousingCoops like this new one.

A photo of a sponsored editorial in Waterford News & Star which reads: Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have failed our generation. Many of those I know struggle to afford rent despite having good jobs. Others were pushed out of the country, away from their communities, friends and families, in order to be able to obtain a better quality of life in Sydney, Vancouver, or elsewhere in Europe. I always tell people that I am experiencing the ‘Irish Dream’ of living with my parents in my late twenties; just like roughly 2 in 3 people my age (68% of those who are 18-34 years old). Everyone knows that these parties continue to ruin our chances of getting a home, and it’s easy to point out their economic illiteracy (or nefarious incompetence) in housing policy, but it is a much more challenging task to highlight a radical, positive, and tangible alternative vision for a better housing system. In this editorial, I will attempt to do so; in detailing this, I bring my experience in tenants’ unions in recent years, both as an active member of Living Rent Tenants’ Union in Scotland and as a founding member of CATU (Community Action Tenants’ Union) Waterford, in addition to my personal experience living and renting in various cities and countries throughout Europe. I have extensively researched the various housing models in existence across the world, and one stands out for its complete success in avoiding a Housing Crisis despite existing within an economy built on Western values and facing a large population increase in recent years; the Vienna Model. We know the ingredients which allows Vienna’s housing system to thrive; a mix of expansive near-universal public housing (80% of Vienna’s population qualifies based on income limits), support for housing co-ops, and stringent rent controls which set a maximum rent for each property based on a rent index designed by local government. Taken together, this represents a conscious and complete rejection of the financialisation of homes wh…
