Regarding our budget, I think that members in the past were expected to pay more, and if asked, many would be willing to pay more if it were for a good investment.  Having a better deal on more space does seem to make sense to me, if we can be sure it meets all our needs.

There have been other issues. I am wary of listing them out, but like I said they all surround having no clear boundaries and expectations and his communication style of just saying whats on his mind, maybe throwing in a threat, and then leaving.

I think though in general we have been thinking about looking for a new (bigger) space for awhile. No time like the present to start shopping around. If we find something that fits in the budget and is close to bart why not?

So, a move is a pretty big step. Have there been any other issues with
the landlord? I do agree that gender sensitivity is important, and yet
if there aren't any other complaints, I wonder if it's something we
could work out with him.
