- dredmorbius 5y agoCo-ops address only one aspect of a three-element triad: supply, stability (co-ops here), and subsidy. In his book, and the chapter exerpt I've linked in an earlier comment, Phillips explains why all three elements are key. Co-ops (or similar co-housing or community-housing arrangements) cannot of and by themselves address the greater supply problem, or provide subsidies for at-risk, disabled (temporarily or permanently) individuals, children, or retirees. They're useful, but insufficient.
