Not sure if this is possible, but just throwing it out there since there seems to be a general consensus that the location is ideal, but the management is the opposite:

Can sudoroom (or some conglomerate including sudoroom) buy George out? or convince someone/something friendly to sudoroom to buy him out?

I think it's probably too big to be crowdfunded, but does anyone know someone profusely wealthy able to take this on? or a group?

I am guessing there are already models for spaces owned by the groups that operate there, cooperatively maybe?

I'm not necessarily advocating this, but this space in Atlanta is pretty nice, even though it's been bought by developers for the purpose of fostering an art community that already existed there, and they have a farm:

Not sure what the equivalent in Oakland would be.

Walking away may not be easy to do as he tends to corner people when they are alone in the space.

reiterating the in-writing requirement is good. just walking away may or may not be so good - i have so far had the good fortune not to know the depths of these interactions.

The lease that Matt sent out a while ago clearly states that all requests and complaints must be in writing. So I would like to reiterate that if George approaches you just say, "please put that in writing so I can share it with the group, thanks" and walk away if you can.
