It wasn't free, it was paid for by the university and it's revenue sources. There is a difference.

- jazzyjackson 4y agoOP wasn't suggesting anyone build a machine shop and then not charge money, they responded to this argument above: > Do you want to build a space for occasional use by a random, large assortment of people, or one where the members make consistent, weekly use of the space and value the space highly? by saying that price barrier is not a prerequisite for quality and safety of a space. People can value the space they're in because they were initiated into the culture, not merely because it costs $120/month.
