I'm curious but once the door bell is fixed what's the use of these virtual
keys? why not ask a friend with a physical key for a copy or make sure when
you leave the space you don't leave your stuff behind if you plan to be gone
long enough that by the time you get back everyone might have left? I think
we need to draw a line somewhere between people having free access to the
space when it's empty and where we stand on security for the building as a
whole. Surely there's a reason why we don't simply prop the door open all
the time and forgo the whole key issue altogether. even if bums weren't an
issue there's gotta be other reasons. i think, at the very least, if there's
to be some kind of 'coat check' tag we let people take so they can get back
in without a key that it have a time limit on it before it doesn't work
anymore and you gotta get someone to let you back in before it resets.
surely someone going out for taco's can work within a widow of about an
hour, two tops.
