this is a great blog post weighing out the different busines models
that we considered before we decided on trying to make camaraderie a
co-op.

what struck me the most was this part:
"What happens when an anchor company, one that signs on a lease and
gets the ball rolling, moves to a bigger space? What happens then?
This company, which essentially functions as the space’s patron, will
be leaving the rest of the community holding the bag, right? How fair
is that? Theie only defense, really, is to say, ‘Well, that’s
business.’"

our solution is a for-profit co-op to ensure the success of the space.
