==Estimate of Current Cost for a Space==
* Details coming from Marc:
**
 
==Precise Constraints==
Check this list for '''up-to-date constraints'''
===Minimum Requirements===
Our absolute minimum for a space:
*BART is close by
*Disability / wheelchair access
*Vehicle parking (motor and human-powered) is ''possible''.
*Bathroom
*Sink (at least one, but preferably outside of bathroom)
*Late access (preferably 24 hour)
*Ability to make some noise (at least event noise)
*Internet
*Electricity
*Security and privacy
**e.g. not a hallway or shared access with other tenants we don't know.
*Landlord must either support the idea or be agnostic to it--not against.
 
===Flexible Agilities===
Things we are flexible about--that put us at an advantage to landlords:
*Can deal with no heat/air (Is this an agility? Actually, heat is pretty important, we should be able to be comfortable and invite guests who can be reasonably comfortable at our events).
*Carpet or flooring not important
*Can live without amenities or luxuries.
*Windows are nice, but open to non-windowed spaces.
*Little to no build-out necessary for initial space.
*Can move in very soon.
 
===Other Requirements===
Things we should keep in mind beyond the bare minimum:
*Min size: ___ Max size: ___
*Min price: ___ Max price: ___
 
===Bonus===
Amenities and other bonuses--a "wish list" if you will:
*Roof access
*Vehicle parking (motor and human-powered) is readily available and secure or private.
*BART is ''extremely close''.
*Landlord ''loves us''.
*Combined residential zoning / accommodation.
 
==Options/Sources==
* Occupy Oakland list of open spaces
** List from Oscar Grant Plaza Gazette: http://www.occupyoakland.org/2011/10/the-oscar-grant-plaza-gazette-saturday-october-15-2011-day-7/
** Apparently, this is a list compiled from publicly accessible data on bank website. Would be a cool hackerproject to scrape & map this data!!!
** ''Note:'' unless you are planning to squat, these will be more work to obtain. You have to buy them, banks are not in the business of renting out properties
* Craigslist
* Possible space with TechLiminal on 14th and Harrison
** Anca has suggested we could pay to use their space, store some of our stuff. Note: Techliminal is still perfectly happy to host our meetup for free.
* [http://theholdout.org/ The Holdout] (related to Occupy Oakland) opportunity for [http://theholdout.org/collectives/ "Collectives"].
** 2313 San Pablo Big green building

|To me (matt) this is an ideal location. The min requirements need to be verified of course.

|2 room corner suite $550/mo.
|Close to BART, not much else explained in post, must inquire.
|Good area, price might be good depending on how much space it ''actually'' is.

|? (cost by square foot, plans still in works for 1st floor)
|Definitely, fits very well toward Sudo Space goals (but will not be open for some time).
|2nd floor will be EBALDC's new office, bottom floor is open, looking for tenants, plans, divisions, etc. Former shelter, full kitchen, showers / bathrooms, ample plumbing. Zoned for commercial use, so residential is fine, etc. Opportunities to work with EBALDC on build-out plans. Opening likely in 1-2 years.

|"Six suites available from 450 sq feet to a total of about 5000 sq ft, each suite has separate bathroom and kitenettes/lab?" "Triple NNN expenses about .35 cents a sq ft."
|Somewhat close to FruitvaleBART, otherwise likely to fit other needs, but may require some build-out
|Not sure if there is the option for non Triple-N.
