From what I have read in the past, there are different models that different coops follow. Most have a limit on the number of dwellings, both from the government and coop planning, if they have hit the max number you would have to purchase from an existing member. From the coop properties I've looked at, they can be well below market rate but that's because you are buying into a community and there are expectations and responsibilities not found in non-coop living. A little like American HOAs.
There are some coops that have strict requirements to join, like womens only coops or some that follow certain beliefs(environmental, political or spiritual and some can feel a bit cult-like). You can't demand market rates when you have such heavy restrictions and demands of property owners.
Heres me living in Aus reading these comments saying this is normal, thinking its insane. We just pull up to the bowser, wave to the cashier and start pumping petrol. People would be livid if they saw a $150 auth charge. The petrol station would be getting dragged in the news.
Definitely ask your GP to refer you to different therapist. If trauma is the main issue maybe ask about EMDR instead of therapists who specialize in CBT
I was sitting on a park bench with a giant bowl of grapes, slicing them in half with a butchers cleaver and eating them. I don't really like or eat grapes...
I can see more of a growth of whats happening in Japan with it's Tokuryu crime. Anonymous groups of criminals coming together for specific jobs.
