In 1927, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, backed in part by the famously socialist Jewish Daily Forward newspaper, founded the Amalgamated Housing Cooperative on Van Cortlandt Parkway South in the Bronx. Its design by Springsteen & Goldhammer modeled the "park experience" of the previous planned communities, but with a deliberate utopian, communal way of life that included cooperative schools, press, markets, and more. Today, Amalgamated Housing Cooperative is the oldest co-op still functioning as a limited-dividend co- op.

It's really funny to hear people say "Can NYC handle socialism???"
Nearly half a million of our homes (25% of all owner-occupied homes in the city) are cooperatives that were EXPLICITLY created by immigrant trade unionists as socialist utopian housing.
