...the first thought was sound system in the corner, platform over there, what a great place for a rave.
But it's also got enough passing walking traffic for a cafe or restaurant or something. It's a really great location.
Anyone got any ideas about, or experience with, setting up a worker's co-op and somehow leasing or buying the property? Basically a project to try and create some kind of shelter from capitalism, in the most equal way possible, for a few committed people?
There are so many opportunities for outreach in this location: kids + parents walking to school in the mornings, sports teams, hikers, cyclists, runners, theater types occasionally...
It's in a rural area, in a non traditional location with little road access but great walking access, so I'm hoping that rent would be realistic.
It did tho take me a long time to realise that all the bars, cafes + clubs in the last city I lived in were run by trust fund kids staying busy, running at a loss as tax write offs.
Same with a lot of high end stores. My hometown was near a ski resort town and 9 months of the year high end luxury stores sold almost nothing until the rich folk came to ski.
They were all open last I went in 2019, but my hometown of 7k is now down to three grocery stores, a walmart, and a dual feed/hardware store.
