From what I hear, any plan for improving MIRI/CFAR space that involves the collaboration of the landlord is dead in the water; they just always say no to things, even when it’s “we will cover all costs to make this lasting improvement to your building”.
Does MIRI/CFAR view having such a landlord as an acceptable state of affairs? Is there a plan for moving to another space, with less recalcitrant owners/renters?

Yep, I think there is a plan for at least MIRI to move out.
