    How many landlords do you believe would install soundproofing or even allow the renter to do it? Before i hocked my soul for my home here i was a renter for a half century. No landlord i ever dealt with would allow the tenant to so much as swap an outlet to a proper code one. Nor would they entertain the thought of doing so themselves. Long as it was working it was left alone

          their property

          And that is exactly the point. In a housing cooperative the owner is the homeowners association of which all tenents are members. If done right that means cheap rents and decent upkeep, as soon as the debts are paid off.

              Ah, a housing cooperative is where everyone who lives on the property has an ownership stake in the property. There’s a bunch of different ways to organize it, but that’s the general idea. You don’t have a landlord so much a neighbors that you make decisions with when something needs to get done that will impact multiple owners. Anything that only impacts your own space is totally your call.

          And as usual just like reddit, truth gets downvoted. Too much to handle it seems
