Man, it is good to demand a minimum of conditions, but we must also think that the City Council, any City Council, must help all associations and will surely be impossible for a City Council to give a place to each of the associations.

One of the solutions that is usually made in many places is to create a hotel of associations, where several associations are staying and that share resources and even professionals.
