Erica, Each space has it's own "culture."
People fitting well into one space, may not fit well into another space. For example, because I live in East Bay, do business in the city and have a client in Alameda, Citizen Space with limited parking is not a good fit for me. Great space. (I always beep my horn when I roar by on 101.) But I can't bill commuting time on public transportation, and I can bill mileage to client. The infrastructure of the space is also a consideration. For example, Hat Factory is weekdays only, inconvenient for someone who likes to work on weekends. There may be a much larger market for coworking spaces than we can imagine. Hope this helps, -dave d On Dec 3, 2007 10:07 AM, Erica Douglass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Benry, > > I'm sure I'm asking a question you've been asked before, but I hope you can > clarify this for the list: Why another coworking space in San Francisco? > Tara mentioned a few weeks ago that Citizen Space was still struggling to > remain "full" on a regular basis, and there are 4 other coworking spaces > already in San Francisco...some of which just opened and I'm sure would > appreciate your support. > > So...why another space?
