Feasibility study suggests D.C. hub for rationalist community

Similar to the existing Lighthaven in Berkeley, this new venue would offer event space, office rentals, and lodging. The study indicates strong demand and identifies feasible options for property, funding, and staffing, though it highlights the need for a dedicated champion to bring the project to fruition. AI
