Well, there are places that exist called hackerspaces. They are for folks who have ideas, but can't quite afford either the proper equipment, or have access to space to work. (See teeny apartment syndrome) these hackerspaces allow someone to come in, and either through a membership system, or a one time fee, give folks access to things like laser cutters, vac formers, saws, cnc machines, etc.. the best thing that happens in these places, is meeting other like-minded folks who you may be able to glean more knowledge from! They always require you be trained on the equipment so theoretically, nothing bad should happen... make magazine trumpets this type of philosophy. Downstate, there is a large hackerspace in nyc called nycresistor.org. check it out, then look at all the empty buildings around here that could be, with some tlc, turned into the micro-factories of tomorrow...

No, thank you for the response! I'm a tinkerer/hacker and am interested in seeing the area being more friendly towards folks like myself. Being from an arts background, ever hear of hackerspaces?

Given that the cuse has become a fairly scared city that is lacking in any forward thinking progress, and given that we constantly tax businesses out of the area, are there plans in your fledgling candidacy to address these issues? I'm on my phone and not able to check your website out at the moment, so forgive me for not checking it out!

No problem Kevin! I dislike the elitist crap that is out there from some folks...we all are made of the same flesh and blood...so, we all contribute our own unique "stuff" to our ecosystem :)

Yes I am. :)
