I'm concerned that we're limiting our considerations to downtown - the most expensive part of Boston.
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".
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.
This would allow us to think differently about how much space we might need for other operating purposes.
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.
Quoting Eden at akashic.com:
I've been thinking about a struggling school, maybe near forclosure or
preferably not quite that far along .. somewhere that just getting the
heat & basics paid would help .. somewhere with loads of space,
computers, infrastructure .. even somewhere that is closed for the
holidays and we move in .. many schools go nearly unused until mid
January.
