Fair enough!

Coops acquiring property for renting to citizens when possible

Yes, this sounds like a good idea. As a Libertarian, I like this model because it is compatible with private property rights, and doesn't demand some sort of government intervention.

You don't think property coops are at a high risk of acting like current HOAs?

How is an HOA worse for the resident than a landlord?

They already do, at least in NYC. That's just part of the deal you sign when you join. If you don't like it, there are a lot of other options, each with their own tradeoffs.

Perhaps, but as long as participation is voluntary, I can live with that. That said, if I ever buy a house, it will very pointedly be in an area with no HOA. :-)
