I don't think the zoning on Franklin would work out for bio, but I should really let Marc answer - he's got all the details.

Regardless - the East Bay DIYbio group is looking for a home as well, so we may be able to join forces with sudoroom in househunting. We'll likely have more restrictive zoning requirements than sudoroom though...

This looks like an amazing opportunity. Nice catch, Ray!

I just sent them an email on behalf of sudo room, asking if we could set up a time to tour the space, meet the landlord, and discuss compatibility.

We're currently paying $2/sqft, so this could be ideal. Marc has also been looking into potential spaces that are zoned for bio research.

Disable our leaving the space, George!


Franklin at 19th!

$1500 for 1100 square feet. Also in the classy building is a whole floor 4200 square feet at .95/sq ft. Perhaps we can inquire about part of the larger floor or arrange to share it with Sudoers who need office space (RoShamBo, Atomic, et al).

Sudo room is its esteemed, talented, brilliant and diverse members; not the space we chose to rent. 

Land lords are reptiles.

It's very difficult to have a landlord with no clear boundaries. I get the feeling we are not the kind of tenants he wants to be working with, or is capable of working with. I have my own share of George stories. 

If we want to stay in the space, I would suggest that we be proactive in getting him  to modify the lease so that we can all be on the same page with expectations. I think it's also fair to say that we've pushed pretty hard on him as well with what his expectation may have been for us, for example having large events in the common area is no in the lease as far as I know, but he has allowed it to happen, but because we don't have an actual agreement hes coming back with arbitrary enforcement of arbitrary rules.

so we either:

1. move

or

2. make sure that our expectations from and for the landlord are in writing

or

3. Continue to take his arbitrary rants at random members of sudo room, and just placate (or ignore) him as much as possible (what we are already doing).

Then how is SR going to make a safe non-abusive space with this guy as landlord?

Who is this rule for? Do you appreciate the actual problem? He
literally has a habit of going up to people using the bathroom and
yelling at them through the door.

I don't want SR to move either.
