Co-op Housing

[edit]

I cant stand when Wikipedia articles tries to standardize information/articles so it fits the whole world. Co-ops/co-op housing is is not not the same as subsidized housing. Its one of the biggest misconception most people have about housing especially in Canada and the U.S. In a very basic coop set up it Generally just just means that the rent paid/ aka the housing charge goes back to the building and the upkeep of the building and not into the pockets of a owner as generated income. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starbwoy (talkcontribs) 03:48, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subsidies vs tax breaks

[edit]
The section on "Housing Subsidies" contains biased or incorrect information. Tax breaks amount to the government not taking money, which is distinct from giving money or redistributing it, which would constitute a true subsidy. It should be added to or changed to include various viewpoints on this to keep the page unbiased. Cappuccio609 (Talk) 09:58, 22 March 2017

Non - Profits

[edit]

There is no such thing as non-profit housing. Non profits are public-private partnership used to privatize public housing that workers fought for in the early 20th century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:540:C400:8C80:B94A:AE8E:2144:39BA (talk) 21:33, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
