Regardless of the final aesthetic, I think we need a total reboot. Empty it to zero, deep-clean everything from the rafters down, epoxy the floor, stack pallet racks along the south half, and have a clean table & work area along the north half. The pallet racks can store stuff. Whatever doesn't fit in there, goes.

Any object stored at Sudo should be endorsed by at least 3 people, the way we do with new members. If it doesn't get that endorsement, it goes. If there isn't energy to "curate" something, it goes!

Clutter is the #1 impediment to all of our goals. It prevents long-term improvement projects, enables filth & biohazards, and sends extremely negative social signals that repel newcomers, like "we don't care about you or your health", "we don't have room for you", able-bodied people only", etc.

Hoarder mentality will be the death of sudoroom. We have been doing it that way for 8 years and it hasn't worked. The community is tiny, and almost entirely middle-aged white men, even more so than it was in 2014. I believe this is no coincidence. Please please please let some change finally happen. Let us start from scratch and not be a total shithole and maybe even grow to be sustainable someday.

I don't spend any time there anymore because I like breathing clean air and touching surfaces made of non-poison.
