[Noisebridge-discuss] So, how many people live at noisebridge now?

[Rachel McConnell]

I dunno, I think it's only a problem when it's a problem, if you see
what I mean.  Obviously we can't have people actually living there; that
is impractical and against our lease and against the zoning regulations
(or some other regulation; I'm thinking of the one about how you aren't
allowed to live at the office unless it's specifically live-work space,
which NB is not).  Also it's not like there are beds or shower
facilities.  If I need to nap, I can nap; if someone else needs to use
the lathe at the time, well then that's just my bad luck.

Also, if they're not bothering anyone who's trying to work, or
destroying useful stuff, why should anyone have a problem with people
staying up late drinking and playing games?

Pretty much everything we do is on a case-by-case basis and it lets us
not have Rules, which then we'd have to enforce, even if it didn't make
sense to do so.  I'm all for case-by-case bases.
