Everything old is new again. The description of “a village”’ has been very much my experience at Songaia. I’m glad the article distinguishes between corporations attempting to provide “co-living” experiences FOR residents and properties that are owned and run by the residents themselves. But by ownership I don’t mean individual ownership. I’m talking collective ownership and self-governance. (Cooperatives are an example of “renters” having ownership in a non-capitalist sense.) There are thousands of housing complexes with community buildings and parks, but these are owned by investors who control the finances; the maintenance of the property is presided over by management companies. The residents just live there. I’m glad that this piece talks a little about the decision making and self governance. And I’m curious to know why most popular articles about cohousing focus on small intentional communities like the one I live in but never once mention housing cooperatives.
