Interesting projects underway in Portland! "Residents will own their homes via a model that combines a housing co-operative with a community land trust, to prevent the property from returning to market-rate housing in the future." https://t.co/rZQOIidGq0

The City of #Bellingham has a survey about housing equity that includes a question about limited-equity housing coops! Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey and let the city know you support coops as part of the affordability solution: https://t.co/PPysm4D5J0

What a beautiful building! Collectively-built, self-developed, mixed-use, multi-generational, what's not to love? Also note this is not in some big city, it's in Tübingen, Germany, a small university town with about 90,000 people. Sound familiar, #Bellingham?

Great article about a new housing cooperative in Madrid: "These Families Wanted a Village, So They Built Their Own. A new cohousing development in Madrid aims to serve as a model, where impromptu gatherings of kids and families are by design." https://t.co/TyOMW1D3Cd

“Renting Is Terrible. Owning Is Worse. A third option is necessary: a way to rent without making someone else rich.” This article is a compelling argument for more publicly-owned housing. Limited-equity co-ops can also be part of the picture! https://t.co/saNchPCca7
