<p dir="ltr">I know the pinpoint moment of the economy crash is in
2008 but the effects took a few years to fully percolate to
local economies. When they did, via waves of unemployment,
foreclosure, and defunding, we had a massive national movement
of unrest and protest which was violently suppressed by the
authorities.</p>

<div>Wow this is so dramatic. I feel there is a
natural change from the initial optimism at the
start of a hackerspace. Infighting and issues
and lack of enthusiasm in membership naturally
follows </div>

<div>Re: the economy - it's been booming around
noisebridge in SF. Most members are working in
tech so since the crash we have been doing
pretty well financially ., maybe more money less
passion and more problems ?</div>
