How The Reef might work in Brussels

Sounds great to me as a trial

I think this goes great as a test case. There is nothing much I can disprove of, I mean if indeed the calculations are right. Yes, some other places oputside large urban areas could be cheaper, but come with greater efforts to generate income and here I agree with Alex above - may be less connected and more expensive for people to just show up/ rent.

More importantly, there is little risk I can think of.  For Edgeryders (the organisation) 2000 eur a month covering the space and a hire is reasonable if we consider this a test, even if the space takes a few months to start generating some income through rentals. How about extra living costs (Internet, electricity, phone, etc) and maintenance which are not included in the rent? Would they amount to a few hundred euros?

From looking on fo.am website announcepment, this offer will expire soon… I dont know where you are with the action these days, let me know if I can help. I would for sure be interested in joining on a regular basis - i.e. temporary resident.

Also, I’m taking the liberty to ping @asimong in light of his co-housing experience and @Hannes . Guys, birds eye feedback should do at this point…
