You can get 90% of that for a half or quarter the cost at a B grade office building, and not deal with noisy neighbors or occupied conference rooms. It usually takes committing to a contract, but if you're not ready to do that you probably don't need office space.

Just to counter your point - I worked from home as a freelancer for about 4 years. I decided I wanted separation between church and state, as it were. Definitely wasn't ready for a contract, but have been in a WeWork for 3+ years now (and am still happy to not have to commit to location/broadband/cleaner/whatever). I'm sure I could have paid for cheaper work space (although, London) - but the money I've made from meeting people here and chatting over lunch / coffee that I didn't have when I worked from home and attended meetups has more than covered everything I've spent. Not to mention my productivity increased noticeably.
