("chief architect") we met with him *Leasing to Buy **Total price $2m ==Sudo Room at the Omni== *There is place that is good for a hackspace *[insert picture here] ====>>>>> http://oaklandwiki.org/The_Omni *They want to make 10 artist cubicles 10'x10' and charge $4/sqft. *Half the room will still be avavilable, and could be Sudo's for approx $2k/month. **They want to make $8k/month from the artist spaces + workshop + coworking + movie studio + VRLAB + kitchen, so any combination works for them. We can offer creative solutions. For instance I suggested: *Pay upfront for a year could be cheaper, because they would have a larger downpayment on their loan. They accepted. *It is 10 minutes walk from McArthur BART **Is that too far?
