Hi all,
If it helps, OWS got I think four churches to allow people to stay there at night, and at least initially (maybe they still are) they kept a 24/7 presence of some sort. They secured an office space, a storage facility, another place for meetings, and continued GA at Liberty Park. Not everyone liked this setup but sharing it in case it is helpful.
What have other Occupies done?
Peace, community, justice,
- George

I would just like to throw into this discussion that IF the GA decides to
move to a new location, I believe it is vital to try to keep the location
somewhat central to downtown for several reasons.
1) Visibility - Downtown is where much of the power is. Downtown is
extremely busy with workers and visitors to the city.
2) A central location means easier access for all. - People who support OB
come from all parts of the city and surrounding areas. A move too far
north, south, or west would make it more difficult for a large number of
people to access the camp. Staying downtown allows not only easy subway and
bus access, but also easy commuter rail access. As some one who relies on
the commuter rail to get to/from the city, any move too far from downtown
would likely make it impossible (or at least HIGHLY impractical) for me to
get to OB regularly. I am sure I am not the only one for whom this is a
concern.
