I live in a 800+ unit, corporate owned and managed apartment complex and would like to organize the renters. What kind of platform would you purpose? As most folks aren’t as nerdy, I suppose discord would work too well, I was thinking a simple bulletin board solution on the web for example, the post a poster with QR code around the property… What are your thoughts?
Just a thought: depending on your community, may also want to ensure it’s available in 2 or more languages to maximize engagement.
I used to live in many apartment complexes (small to large). The range and diversity of residences largely varied. Used to live in a community with a large hispanic population and Spanish as the primary language. In another one, I believe it was Vietnamese. But for the most part English was understood, but not the primary.
Definitely Spanish also!
Listen to Parts 1 and 2 of this podcast:
That should at least give you some starting point for organizing and I believe there’s a larger tenant’s union organization that might be able to help you.
An HOA (/s)
That would be evil…
I think a web bulletin board is a great idea with maybe a form that other renters can use to submit thoughts or things they want addressed
Slack
I really like Slack but I doubt the majority of renters in this community know it or would be able to install it
I set up a space and generated a QR code. That really was easy! Now I’ll go canvassing😁👋
