Despite a lot of interest, there’s only a small amount of co-op housing in the UK. Most non-profit housing is charitable housing associations. Large housebuilders have a hold of the market overall.

"the Swiss example shows how these non-state and non-capitalist actors can build quality housing at a mass scale, if they’re encouraged — and that they can create a model of housing provision that moves beyond speculation into something more democratic and innovative."

Money is how people with no talent keep score.

Sometimes, selfishly, I wish I'd been born a few decades earlier so I wouldn't have to seriously content with the global climate crises and the utter failure of capitalism and liberal democracy.

If I didn't have a job? If I didn't work? No need for a car. Audio books and gardening all day. Visiting neighbors for the fuck of it. Feeding stray cats. Just makin hecka art for the fuck of it. Givin it away because I have everything I need.
