I don't think it makes any sense to lump this into one of george's emotional
outbursts.
as we've all been following closely over this list, the equity crowdfunding provision
of the Jobs Act, which went into effect last week on Sept. 23, 2013, enables the
distribution of shares outside the traditional infrastructure of approved investors. the
changes in the future of capital flow routing around wall st. and the rules surrounding
investment cannot be underestimated. by opening up the buying of stocks to us regular
folks - with capital investment no longer made unaffordable because of the huge cuts taken
by investment bank intermediaries and securities regulations fortifying the status quo -
the possibilities for raising capital have just exploded.
most interestingly, from my point of view, a collaborative non-hierarchical ownership and
management structure becomes feasible in a way that it has never been in economic
history.

as far as i know eddan is the only one who has spoken
with george, one of the building's owners, about the co-op possibility. eddan, can you
share any more info about what exactly george said (my main question is whether this is
just another one of george's idle threat type things that he just says and never
intends to follow through on).?

I have no idea what the price per sq-ft is. We
should find that out. Also
having the capital isn't really as important as having a small group who is
willing to put in the time and resources when necessary to make it happen.
With good enough credit it would be possible to finance the space depending
on the down payment. Or even crowd source the down payment. There are a lot
of options if there are people who actually want to it.
