    Just to put this into some sort of perspective, several years ago the Executive Committee of my building decided to provide storage in some of our unused nooks and crannies for the hire of individual owners. A company installed chain link cages and they were rented out on a pro rata basis, calculated on the space inside,  at considerably less than commercial rates.

    There probably should have been by-laws and all the rest of it but the general opinion was that everyone benefited one way or the other, either by having secure storage or by the admin fund getting rent from the storage.

    The only fly in the ointment came later when a new autocratic chair decided to up the rates and had a informal vote where people who had cages were excluded from voting but people on the waiting list weren’t.  Bizarre!

    Anyway, the point I wanted to make was that the StrataKops didn’t come screaming round in their ByLawMobile to tell us we had to take it down.  If anyone objected to this, they certainly weren’t annoyed enough to test it at the CTTT. Common sense prevails … until it doesn’t.  And that’s when you deal with it otherwise good ideas die like dogs in a ditch.
