@malwaretech Something I observed relatively recently when comparing different housing arrangements in different countries is how Swedens seems more rare when our most common form of housing are a type of regulated "housing-cooperatives" called "bostadsrättsförening".
It doesn't directly translate to the English/UK form of "cooperative-housing" so I'd recommend reading a translated version of the Swedish wikipedia article instead to grasp the regulated implications:
https://sv-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Bostadsr%C3%A4ttsf%C3%B6rening?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=English&_x_tr_hl=svBy having a non-profit, where laws regulate that all profits must return to the co-owners, shared ownership, costs are substantially lowered. It's not perfect and must go hand-in-hand with other regulations but compared to LLCs or companies own housing, especially if it's a public company with shareholders... they're astronomically better in potential to improve housing availability and pricing.
