Hey guys,

Regarding leaving 2141 and scoping out new spaces..

I was hoping someone could fill me in on what is really meant by deciding we are officially 'terminating the lease' in Dec. ?

Does it mean we are definitely out of 2141 come Jan., ie, we definitely dont want to stay at 2141? Has that been decided?

Or, would we have the opportunity to negotiate a new/better lease if we did decide to keep on at 2141?

Re: a co-op purchase of part of 2141, what are the brass tacks of that exactly? I..e, do we have however many tens of thousands I imagine we would need for most mortgage downpayments? Is there some angel investor here I dunno about?

Along the same lines what are our real-world options with respect buying the church, or part of the Omni? Or are we just talking about renting part of the omni?

Personally, I'd prefer to move, but move with BAPS, SUDO, and CCL. It kind of seems like maybe we should find a good place to move to, and understand what our combined budget is. if SUDO moves out without BAPS that would suck for BAPS and also mean that SUDO would probably get a smaller space than we would get if we combined forces, synchronized, and all moved somewhere together (or mayber stayed at 2141 together, under more amenable conditions). Staying together being the operative word to me here..

Best.

How many square feet are we getting in exchange for that $2k?

*It is 10 minutes walk from McArthur BART

That's not too bad, obviously closer is better, and MacArthur is not a very safe area at night, but it's oakland, what are you gonna do

You do realize that's very close to Ace Monster Toys? If Sudo room moves up to the Berkeley Border, it would make sense to join with Ace Monster Toys. Also, in my opinion that is way too far from Bart, and way too far from where I live, so I would probably not ever go there.

Sounds like an interesting space though, and that is a better neighborhood than where AMT is now. Maybe they would be interested in this space?

It's 1.4 mi away, which is relatively close, though not a super convenient walking distance. However they are looking for bigger cheaper spaces (minimum 3000 sq ft, and at most $1/sqft), so I'm not sure this would work. Also they have a requirement that anything over 2500sqft MUST have overhead sprinklers. That combined with the noise constraints might be an issue, since AMT has lots of big noisy toys (large CNC router tables, laser cutters, power saws, etc)
