and when you grow old and sick ,certain religion, lesbians, polically correct baby makers, bigots etc. band together to threaten a member and her caregiver to be ousted to a care home, in living in a coop I've had to endure discrimination , hateful neighbours,against me and my caregiver lately in 2019, Neighbours can't mind their own business and leave me and my caregiver alone, I helped build this place in the 80s, it was nice and coop ideals were fine then over the years its become full of hate. Originally this coop was intended to give rental security to poorer peeople its now changed to people who can pay market value rent, boards are always made up of people who lack any training in this area..coop living is for the birds
That's wild, but if that hapened to you, even without knowing the full detailed story and what the other's complaints were...I'm sorry. I am saddened to hear you went through that. I've lived in a co-op almost my whole life. Although it may be one of the better ones considering the awards it's run, we've had problems and disfunctions all the same. And we continue to, while I am on the board now too. It can't be understated that the people make the co-op, but by that same token the principles should be compassionately followed above all else. Is that not the part and parcel of co-operative living: to support, learn and grow alongside each other regardless our differences? What happened to sounds a great shame, however it happened, but it's my sincere wish you've found a community that respects you and has your back proper now.
