This was more to start a conversation on the topic. We may have to move in the future and when we do we might have to make a choice between a larger nicer space that we can’t afford without renting space or a smaller space that we can afford at the time.
The problems that VCL had in their original space with people storing stuff, was one of the main reasons VHS decided not to rent space. They have since gotten better at it, with the addition of more administration. VCL is more top heavy then VHS’s flat structure. (not a bad thing!)
Increasing the price to the point where other storage options are a better value might solve this problem. If storage was ~$5 a square foot at lot less people would use it and would try to use it for the lest amount of time possible (A good thing in my opinion) .
This does create a problem where the people with money have more privileges than the people without (like real life!). The rich people with money, renting space have the side effect of subsidizing the normal members making it cheaper for everyone else.
What if I attach it to the roof of the space, hanging upside down
I was talking about renting space bit storage is an interesting issue as well. Maybe you should split the topic (reply as new topic) and start a new thread
