<div dir="ltr">Much as Noisebridgers don't want to air our dirty laundry, people sleeping and/or squatting at Noisebridge has been a constant problem for the last several years. Because consensus makes it impossible for us to establish sleeping as forbidden, okay, or okay under some circumstances (there will always be one person to block the proposal either way), there hasn't been any effective resolution.<div>
<br></div><div>The usual cycle is: some people start crashing at Noisebridge, more people start crashing at Noisebridge, people start living at Noisebridge, it becomes a problem too large to ignore and people crack down and tell people to stop squatting at Noisebridge, then some people start crashing at Noisebridge.</div>
