I got him down to $450 if we fix up the bathroom/heater.

We're working figuring out how to do it. Right now it's $50/month and you'll have access and some storage space (~2 bikes each). We might have other memberships for $25/month for access but no storage and $10/month supporter membership with access only at limited times (night & weekends).
The bad. We need first/last/deposit - $1350 to move in. I figure it will be ~$150-$200 in utils if we did full water/elec/gas/internet. We don't need gas or internet right now so at first we're probably talking less than $100. We might be able find some open WIFI networks for the time being. The bathroom "works" but is a mess, there is a heater but it's not hooked up, no idea if it works.
I'm not 100% sold on this. I like the idea. Parking is going to be a pain. We'll need 15 people or so to make this work. I figure we can get 10 people easy. The rest will take might take a month or two. With 15 people it's going to be tight on parking. There's two spaces in the front, everyone else will need to park on Brighton or the back street. He's cleaning up the side area so we have an outside sitting/eating area. The area isn't great but it's next to the Police station so I don't think we need to worry about stuff when we are there. No windows, and has a security door.
In order for this to work we will need at least 10 people to put up $135. That covers first month, last month and the deposit. I know it's a lot. I told him I would let him know early next week.
We will need to come up with some rules for it's use, tool sharing, guests, etc. I have some equipment that we can share - large air compressor, painting equipment, shelving etc.
Thoughts? Does anyone want to do this for sure? Right now it looks like we have 4 people for sure, we would need at least 6 more to do it.
