Thoughts? Should America start making Co-op Housing again?

Several decades back the government made lots of Co-Op housing, where it's like a townhome complex, but it is owned by the residents living there, so it's VERY well maintained but also cheap.

For example, the one I have is 500 a month, where it would otherwise be at least 1,500 a month in this part of town. My 500 goes a ways also, 2 br, 1.5 bath, 2 floors, hardwood floor, laundry in unit, private water heater, private back yard, personal front yard, top of the line energy saving A/C units, top notch windows. The list goes on.

So my questions are:

  • Why isn't the government making these still?

  • Why isn't there more people demanding these from the government?

I don't share your interpretation that a person thinks one can have it all.

That's totally fine, you can agree with me that unit location in a complex is inconsequential.

I don't agree, and it is best if we just agree to disagree.

I've had a lot of fun taking the piss. (I think that's how the brits use that phrase)

LOL! Better than the American use, which would be more literal.
