I’m a big fan of Jeannine’s theory here. Lots of data tends to skew to more urban coworking examples, and even worse, gets skewed further by outlier mega-cities (where density and demand for ANY space makes it very easy for a coworking space to appear more sustainable than it really is). There aren’t many cities in the world like New York, London, SF, and Sydney for example - so they’re VERY hard to draw conclusions from. New York and SF are especially insane. Whenever I visit or am working with someone in those cities, I’m constantly reminding myself that “this is not reality”.
Keeping that skew in mind is really, really important when trying to draw understanding from these kinds of datasets. -Alex ------------------ The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself.
