#OccupyNoisebridge!


Just kidding. I wake people up and ask them not to sleep at the space.

I would support a hacker hostel project in a different space, though. 
Since a fair amount of people coming to Noisebridge need infrastructure 
for living, they might be able to band together to set up a cheap and 
sustainable hacker hostel situation. I guess some problems with that 
might be:

- finding a landlord and neighbors who don't mind/notice 10 people 
living out of two rooms

- getting enough capital together to pay deposit/first month/last month rent

- having the wherewithal to pass a credit check or whatever other 
paperwork or background hurdles there might be

- developing the social trust among hacker hostel potential members to 
want to live with them (or tolerate living with them) in close quarters. 
(Along with whoever they bring home with them.)
