It took me eleven months of working from home to investigate renting a coworking space. Eleven wasted months! The coworking office is TOTALLY worth every USD.

Not WeWork, I hope?

@Root

No, some local real estate company.

Reasonable prices?

The local wework and aspiring weworks in my area were BONKERS expensive.

I'm sure the amenities were nice but damn....

@N00bPancakes

It's expensive enough to make me think about it. About $650 US, per month. That gets me a lockable office of my own, unmetered symmetric fiber internet, full use of a nice, commercial kitchen and bathrooms, some free printing(15 pages/mo), a mailbox, and some more benefits that don't come immediately to mind.

It's a lot, but it's a lot less than the increase in rent it would take to get a place to live where I can have a private office that my kids (4 and 2) can't wreck and disturb me. Also, I can claim the entire expense on my taxes next year.

I was checking out your old rants... just bought crosscode. Have you played Hyper Light Drifter?

@87percentrum

I have it and I've played it, but I definitely haven't given it the time it deserves. I hope you're enjoying Crosscode. Definitely one of my favorites in recent memory.

@bahua That's not terrible for a full office.

I've seen "a desk" for hell of a lot more than 650 at times. Some of these places are bonkers crazy.

@bahua that seems nuts to me because where I am an extra $650/month in mortgage could add 2 bedrooms and double square footage.

@jeeper

Colorado ain't cheap. And it's exacerbated by historically low housing inventory.
