#coophousing — Public Fediverse posts

Well, its 2 weeks until moving day! Newly retired, I am downsizing to a 1 bedroom, barrier free, accessible unit in a non profit housing coop. The units were designed for aging in place.

Season 4 episode 1: Solarpunking Housing, with Ariel & Christina

In this kick-off of Season 4, Ariel and Christina tackle the topic of housing. How could solarpunk expand its dreams of housing beyond the aesthetic and into the realm of the practical? It is one of the central imaginings of solarpunk, after all. And it’s something we’re not doing very well in the present.

Can solarpunk envision not just greenery and solar-panel-draped dwellings, but housing that would meet people’s needs, not just for shelter, but comfort, mental health, emotional and physical support, ease of access, friendship and community, and culture, while also being affordable to everyone, energy efficient, and not contributing to urban sprawl? It seems like a tall order, but we want to make it a present reality. Tune in as we discuss!
