Many in Austin have been familiar with the Rhizome Collective, an urban sustainability and social justice group that was both a non-profit organization and the space it occupied. Evidently in the midst of Much Drama, the property owners sold the building after a series of city inspections shut it down. I've got a lot to say about this, but I'm going to bed for now. Part of it has to do with the situation with the Rhizome itself, and part of it has to do with implications this has for the transformation of my own property from private to collective ownership, and lessons that might be learned from the Collective's experience.
