I moved out to the burbs many years ago when my son was young and while it was great for kids I really missed being able to walk to grocery stores and restaurants and the library.

@Charlie Price - Thank you for saying nice things about PC/PCB! 

AND here is the thing, when the "PC Police" come thru and rebrand it something like "Vulnerable Community (lets get real, wtf does that even mean????)

Many more disturbing facts and allegations are available in public court documents: https://unicourt.com/case/pc-bk5-metallic-blue-development-llc-2058799.Bankruptcy cases can take years to unravel and most of us are expecting to recover pennies on the dollar at best.Make your own judgement on trusting people with a track record like that.Sorry you have to go through this and have the strength to make these posts public so others can learn from them These types of posts should be lessons learned for investors, and what I mean by that is know your sponsor.

The university is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on construction projects in 2018 alone, including new classroom buildings, parking garages, a restaurant, athletic building improvements and library expansion.

$15K is ridiculous IMO, maybe $500... but $15K, for what.. some spreadsheets, and knowledge you can get from reading books at the library for free?     

All you really need is a PC or laptop with a web cam.Hope this helps ...

I'm also interested in holding meetings in a free location, hence the library, rather than at a restaurant where folks will be obliged to spend money.

Have a big library instead if a big tv. 

Then go for the "nearly free": books in the BP library, maybe a pro membership so you can dig through the webinar archives and get unlimited use of the calculators.At the same time, find a few meetups in your area.
