I'm concerned that we're limiting our considerations to downtown - the most expensive part of Boston. <br /><br />I know of a place less than one block from the Green Line station in JP, but am told no one will be interested because it's not "central".<br /><br />What about having the 4 weekly GAs in four different locations, so that we're spreading the love around? As long as everyone knew that each Tuesday was the same location, I think we could get used to it. Seems to me that as long as we're very close to a T station, it's really not that hard for people to get there.<br /><br />This would allow us to think differently about how much space we might need for other operating purposes.<br /><br />I do agree that wherever we use space, the goal is to make it publicly accessible and transparent. I can see occupying a building which has been a victim of the economic tragedy or renting from a landlord whom we feel good about supporting.<br /><br />Quoting Eden@akashic.com:<br /> <br /> <br />I've been thinking about a struggling school, maybe near forclosure or<br />preferably not quite that far along .. somewhere that just getting the<br />heat & basics paid would help .. somewhere with loads of space,<br />computers, infrastructure .. even somewhere that is closed for the<br />holidays and we move in .. many schools go nearly unused until mid<br />January.<br />eden<br /> <br />> On Sat, Dec 10, 2011 at 3:49 PM, Alex Pearlman<br />> <alex@occupyboston.org> wrote:<br />><br />><br />> > I think the most important thing to discuss tonight is taking<br />> steps<br />> > to secure a space to rebuild our central nervous system - meaning<br />> > probably indoors, where there's GA space and room for the working<br />> > groups to meet and get re-organized as we take the next steps in<br />> our<br />> > movement.<br />> ><br />> > We cannot continue to intrude on E5 as a back-up.
