I just got a call from Sally&#39;s friend Branden who helped her i think move all that stuff in there last night at like 3am or whenever it was.<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Branden says he will come tomorrow morning at 10am to remove it. </div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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. </div>
<div><br></div><div>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. </div>
<div><br></div>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.<div><br></div><div>
It really sucks that housing and a place to put one&#39;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.<span></span><br>

<p dir="ltr">I don&#39;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&#39;t think we need to be as extreme as to &quot;put them out on the street.&quot; </p>


<p dir="ltr">Maybe I&#39;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.</p>

<div><br></div><div>I realize you may have just been trying to make a chill hangout space or something. However there were just far too many personal belongings in there. I have a pretty good idea who it is and they have been warned against this multiple times so its really sad.<br>



</div><div><br></div><div>The offices in the basement are for having a meetup, class, working session or possibly for renting out. They are not someone&#39;s home. NO ONE CAN LIVE HERE. No one can store lots and lots of personal effects here. </div>



<div><br></div><div>The blue couch and the sudo coffee table had also been moved from the common area into the adjoining room. They have been moved back.</div><div><br></div><div>Now my back hurts. </div><span><font color="#888888"><div>
