In the USA, most power bills are the tenants’ responsibility. In the USA, virtually all internet connections are the tenants’ responsibility.

The locality hosting the services could also pass a law requiring the tenants to either bear responsibilities for, or be included in, all utility related billing.

A lot of arguments in this thread seem to be ignoring this as a solution to the legitimate problems they’re raising.

Brilliant. I’ll set up some devil corp calls today!

Good points. Maybe I’ll offer it as an advanced side meeting or something, for those particularly interested. The goal is to help the community and not just a subset, of course :)

Absolutely, this is the goal. I’m going to run the first few with things ranging from simple “need a new phone? here’s what to look for” to “here’s how to install Graphene on a pixel and linux on a desktop” to break the ice and build the group. I have no idea how to garden, but judging by all the community gardens in my area I’m sure someone does.

Hell yeah! Great idea :)

Hmmm… might have to put this one on the back burner D:

Tons of public transport in my city, could be fun!

Excellent idea! There’s a ton of community gardens near me as well, so this is perfect for my community.

Definitely adding this to the list :)

Fantastic idea. I’m always blown away when I see someone learn about a HYSA for the first time!

I like both of these! Probably worth adding that I’m in a heavy urban area like Chicago
