I'm a part of a college socialist club pushing for our city to pass laws that make it easier to start and run co-ops. One thing that got brought up, by a city councilman of all people, was a zoning law requiring developers to put a certain amount of their commercial space towards co-ops. What do you thing of this, and what other policies should socialist push for in regards to cooperatives?
Edit: I'm also curious as to what sort of arguments you think policymakers would be most susceptible to in order to make them more pass more pro-cooperative laws.
