[sudo-discuss] save omni commons while earning 10% interest on good collateral!

Save the Omni Commons while making 10% interest with great collateral! We have never missed a mortgage payment in ten years! But our mortgage ballooned, and we failed to find another lender, and we’ll be foreclosed on very soon. This property is worth $3 million, as it’s 20,000 square feet on a 0.3 acre lot in North Oakland, CA, and we only need $1 million to keep it! Unfortunately, if nobody gives us a new loan it will go to foreclosure auction soon and certainly be bulldozed into rubble to build another stupid highrise apartment building. Our books are good, we can manage up to 10% interest just with events income. Management will go with CAST (Community Art Stabilization Trust) or City In Motion (an events booking collective headed by a longtime Omni member) according to your choice as lender. You’re #1 on the deed. Omni Commons currently houses: SUDOROOM, a world-renowned hackerspace inspired by Noisebridge and others, focused on skillsharing and cooperative experimentation and learning, in the arts of electronics, software, and repair of all manner of broken things in collaboration with FIXIT CLINIC COUNTER CULTURE LABORATORIES, a citizen-science biolab collective where beginners and degreed experts can access literally tons of fancy laboratory equipment, with projects like Real Vegan Cheese and DIY Insulin (don’t try this at home) SUDOMESH, a collective of last-mile and distributed network developers creating mesh networks such as https://PeoplesOpen.net and https://Disaster.Radio FOOD NOT BOMBS, a decades-old movement to redistribute food to anyone who wants to eat it, in the spirit of collective liberation SACRED MAKERS ARTS COLLECTIVE, artists, educators, and organizers dedicated to the transformative power of art.
