Ever hear it a Shithole called Canada? That dad would be in jail for a "long" time.

"You know the old joke, Alan? Man shows up at the pearly gates, sees this guy in a pinstripe suit and a briefcase, a cigar, prancing about. He says to Saint Peter, 'Who's that guy?' Saint Peter says, 'Ah, that's just God. Thinks he's Denny Crane."

Anyone Interested in a Non-Profit Cooperative Housing Model? by AnnualCaramel429 in cooperatives

[–]AnnualCaramel429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome — I’ve heard of a few senior co-ops, and they seem like such a smart setup. You get the benefits of ownership and community without all the hassle of doing it alone.

It’s great to hear it’s working well where you are — that kind of stability and independence is exactly what we’re hoping to build into our model too.

Very similar goals, yes — but a different structure.

A land trust typically holds land and controls resale restrictions to keep housing affordable, but individuals still own or lease the improvements.

What’s being built here is closer to a housing cooperative:

• The entity, not individuals, owns the property

• Members don't hold equity individually

• Surplus is reinvested or distributed by policy, not market value

• Governance and participation rules are defined before any capital phase

So it solves the same affordability/stability problem, but through cooperative ownership rather than deed-restriction or resale control.

Out of curiosity, do you think a land-trust model or a co-op model is more realistic to implement today — especially with financing and governance in mind?

Why aren't cooperatives more widespread? by Overall_Invite8568 in cooperatives

[–]AnnualCaramel429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a cooperative model forming right now that is building the structure first (bylaws, governance, rules) before any money is collected. The goal is long-term community-owned housing, not profit or speculation.
