When I was working in a coworking space it absolutely was.
The tech population is very transient, or at least it feels that way to me. It seems that everyone is from out of town or an immigrant.
When I moved after university to start work in another city, I didn't know anyone else in my new city. The coworking space I worked in, with a whole variety of different companies (most of them non-tech), was a great place for me to meet new people and make new friends.
nope. they are short term solution to high rent prices in certain cities. pure economics. sharing a space with a bunch of other people gets old fast and is actually annoying. (it doesnt work just like open floor place office spaces dont work/dont improve productivity).
almost everyone would opt for a private office if they could get it for $350/month. (good luck in NYC/Boston/SF!!!)
