The article discusses the impact of speculation on the housing crisis, emphasizing the need for alternative models like cohousing. Originating in Denmark, cohousing prioritizes community living and democratic management through cooperative ownership. Unlike traditional housing, these cooperatives prevent speculation by retaining ownership within the group, ensuring financial stability for members. Residents pay for the use of homes without the risk of market fluctuations. The article highlights various project costs and the benefits of a shared living model, which addresses the disconnect between housing and residents' needs.
Speculation has become one of the enemies of housing, and is partly to blame for a rampant crisis that punishes citizens.
Cohousing communities, designed and managed by members, prioritize mutual support and shared facilities, countering individualization and isolation issues in housing.
