Currently enjoying the sunset in #Barcelona from the rooftop of Cireres, a building built and owned by @sostrecivic, also thanks to a loan by Fiare Banca Etica.

(Housing) cooperatives will save the world! 💕

So I wrote another article for @TheJournal , this time highlighting how the Government's recent 'how to cope' video is an insulting distraction from their failures:

Looking for advice from coop housing lovers! 🏘️

Do you know any cooperative housing initiatives in #Rotterdam? Do you know how to start one (is it too utopistic?)

I will be moving there in August/September to attend @xpub 🤩

Considering the current housing crisis, I want to be prepared and to start looking for a place as soon as possible!

Boosts in NL are welcome 💕

Update: I am now in Rotterdam and I have no place to live: https://pan.rent/@tommi/115124354568461390

And you're a voting member as well, so you have a say in your #community. The cost is still high - $2.2k monthly housing cost on income (at the highest) of $77k is 34% of your gross on housing. But for #Seattle? And while building equity? #cooperativehousing sounds like a great idea.

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!
