I've noticed that at sudo there is a tendency to increase inventory of
whatever it may be, because as Niki pointed out, it's actually easier to
bring something to sudo, then remove it from sudo (that is, if you are
disposing it). I won't judge whether that's good or bad for sudo room.
Certainly it's easy to see how this tendency, when spilling beyond sudo
room proper, could be viewed as cruft.
Make a great day,

This also raises again for me the issue of moving furniture into the
building with the assumption that everyone is going to be fine with it and
not having anyone be accountable for it.
I think, out of respect for all of us who share this space, decisions
about how shared space is used should be made collectively - that's not to
say that we have to have a collective meeting any time someone brings
something into the space but that there should be a contact person for
large items brought into the space and if people have objections and it's
collectively agreed that the item should go, the contact person can be
responsible for removing the item(s) in question.
I personally feel frustrated by the suggestion that we should all just be
happy with whatever junk people want to drop off here. (Probably because I
have made lots of dump runs throwing away a not insignificant amount of
said junk.)
Love,
Niki

Why not keep extra chairs stacked neatly
somewhere just inside the door
in the event that we actually need extra seating?
I agree that all of those chairs are a bit overkill. Also, the cafe
would, at some point, like to apply for a permit for outdoor seating.

Just speaking personally, from the perspective of
some one newly
educated on how easy it is for the "Neighborhood" (developers, business
development folks, city of oakland) to make life hard for us to continue
(see 350% tax increase just served us by the "Business Improvement
District"), I suggest we take the feelings of our neighbors (the people
that live next to us) very seriously.
I'd like our neighbors to be on our side and love that we are there. If
that means fewer chairs, or just being anal about straightening the chairs
all the time, that seems fair. I think erring on the side of being too
considerate to our neighbors is a good idea...
I do like the folding bench idea!!

I propose doubling the number of chairs every day until we get a
complaint, then backing back down to the previous number.
