This is an excellent comment / example but just to clearify, the quote here isn't from the original post text. I definitely believe there's a theoretical financial model somewhere out there that could make makerspaces sustain

Thanks so much for the thoughtful insight, this is extremely helpful context during a very upsetting / depressing time as a hacker lab member in a city with no other comparable spaces. If you have any specific advice on ways to seek ou

I agree, my only regret is not discovering them sooner. Id pay three times as much for them to stay open. Seriously...

Hell yeah, they should seriously take over Hacker Lab. It's 100% ready to go in terms of space, equipment and local support.

This is an amazing space. They have a jaw-dropping range of equipment and the cleanest / largest / best shared work space and private offices I've ever had access to. It's unclear what the specific issues causing them to

I really love this project but that is a super on point observation. I should have noticed that. And I think the answer to your question is probably obviously yes. Like I know what I'm talking about... Also very curious on the source f

Really nice to see the exploratorium keeping old-school parts of their site up like this. Honestly surprising. Brings back memories of the old days in their punk-rock warehouse location. Some of the best times of my life. Cleaning stains ou
