This framework talks through concepts y'all raised like "trial periods", economic investment, democratic control, etc.
On the topic of "eyes on the street" and community parenting, check out Jane Jacobs' "Death & Life of Great American Cities" for a great description of what it means, and what it takes logistically, down to population densities, etc. Also, "Happy City" by Charles Montgomery is a great book for a more prescriptive read.
To learn more about how we got to this isolated world that is antithetical to community building, check out "Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream" by
Jeff Speck et al.
Also, "The Color of Law" by Richard Rothstein is a highly-regarded work on the government's role in redlining and the suburbanization of America.
Great Episode!
For the legal framework, I suggest checking out Co-Op Housing: https://coophousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Cooperative-Housing-Development-Toolbox-A-guide-for-successful-community-development.pdf
