Co-ops are great! I am from a part of the US that has a lot, thanks to the trickle-down influence of all the left-wingers in northern Minnesota and upper Michigan (Wisconsin seems to have a different ethnic mix and lots of farmer co-ops but not as many buyer co-ops.) It seems to be a good time for co-ops again in some parts of the US: they're growing lots of places and they can be a good investment when they're expanding. Kudos to the Greensboro-ans, and I hope they see the power they can wield when they work together!
