Ok, Sally is one of the people I talked to.
I told her, explicitly, not three days ago, that if she left her personal
things laying around in common spaces, they would be thrown away.

I just got a call from Sally's friend Branden who
helped her i think move
all that stuff in there last night at like 3am or whenever it was.
Sally has done some nice things for Omni but she has also been warned
against moving into rooms and/or sleeping here several times. A room of
hers has been cleared out at least once before.
Branden says he will come tomorrow morning at 10am to remove it.
Since Sally is a Sudo member the remaining items will be put into Sudo
room, for Sudo to deal with as they see fit, liase with Slly / Branden etc.
If it reappears anywhere else in the Omni it will be tossed. Sorry for
being like this but we cant have this and a line has got to be drawn. These
are not common items, these are all personal items, and quite a lot of
them.
This matter was brought to my attention by someone else who was not happy
about it. I cant tell you how stressful it is to many members of the
collective to see common space appropriated in this way.
The next time piles and piles of random personal belongings appear they
will be tossed. Also all unclaimed sleeping bags squirrelled away in common
space will also be immediately trashed.
It really sucks that housing and a place to put one's personal effects is
so scarce in our fucked up world, but that may be the one thing that we
cannot provide to the community and its very important that there be no
exceptions.

I don't know the specifics of this situation,
but can we at least talk to
this individual and explicitly ask them to remove their stuff and to
refrain from doing this again rather than putting it out on the street? I
understand how ridiculous it is that someone is using common space to sore
their personal belongings and claiming their own chill out room, but I just
don't think we need to be as extreme as to "put them out on the street."
Maybe I'm not aware of the extent of the situation, but I just want to be
sure we approach this from a place of care and understanding.
