The #SolarpunkCity is #Accessible
by Commando Jugendstil and Tales from the EV Studio
"How do people move around the solarpunk city?
With public transportation which has been enormously expanded. Private transportation is mostly limited to adapted vehicles for special #MobilityNeeds, and vehicles are available through #SharedOwnership schemes.
It’s concert season in the solarpunk city and Webby has decided to go to the auditorium on her Isetta EV, specially adapted for people with her mobility needs. It can be boarded through a ramp, and the steering, which features an extra wheel to control brakes and accelerator, can be moved out of the way to allow Webby to board and disembark seamlessly. Strictly speaking, the car is not just hers… It is part of a dedicated #CarSharing scheme, managed through a municipalized distributed ownership programme. Next to her, Diego, a #SightImpaired musician, follows the orange path painted on the floor towards the Auditorium: the sensors in his next-gen walking stick can tell him where to turn and how far it is."Source:

> FOSS has a very unfortunate weak spot in its foundation, that being the idea that “free” implies “without ownership” rather than “equitably shareable”
💯! Just dropped a #meme depicting how #SX considers #FOSS: https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116433599463361421
#Equity is the word. I wrote a blog on #SharedOwnership earlier: https://coding.social/blog/shared-ownership
Note, that "libertarianism" is emergent, comes with scale. I avoid the term for its political heat it often introduces, and how that stifles #solution-orientation.
> I make product actually meet the users’ needs, cuz damn, you didn’t!
It's funny how actual #Needs are often totally unknown, esp. in FOSS. The #technology then quickly exists mostly for the sake of itself. Damn the externalities.
Social coding commons defines FOSS as the pure software artifact. Code + an open license. Period. All the rest is #SocialCoding where all #expectations we have are either implied and unjustified, or warranted with mutual understanding. The latter is hardly done.

I've mentioned several times before that I have a 1/10th share in a narrowboat. It's a fantastic way of winding down and having a cheap holiday.
One of the other syndicate members is selling his share for only £300 (he lives in America and a change of job means he'll not be able to use the boat in the next few years), with weeks already booked in September/October.

#inflation is overwhelming every area of our #lives. Even small #groceries increase10p each time you #shop. #Insurance, #Electricity, #gas, #fuel, & #rent all eyewatering. Try to #budget & the #landlords, #shareholders & #elite manage without fail to pour #misery on us to enforce #poverty. #SharedOwnership became a way to get a #home for you & your #family. Predictable #mortgages & #rents for a while enabling budgeting. Then WHAM #servicecharges increase 41%

@mxtthxw My flat is #SharedOwnership and I'm trapped by the #CladdingScandal. I have to deal with rental shit and owner shit at the same time. There's so much corruption and greed in #housing, generally.

Thoughts on Nov 7th #SharedOwnership Conference at CU Boulder. Rose/Bud/Thorn:
Roses:
@ntnsndr playing key role, bringing people together
Interesting range of projects & coop forms.
Brought three great organizers up from COS -> more convo about coops. (@natstein )
IRL time with @claytonThorns:
"shared ownership" frames coops as models of property not as movement orgs aiming at solidarity.Buds:
excited about potential for coop dev in CO, and reminded of need for solidarity econ framework -
Yes, November 7th at CU in Boulder.
#SharedOwnership is a better framework than #ConsciousCapitalism (!)
