Would you say this about WeWork a year ago? VC-style central planning has had a great distorting effect on the supply/demand information function of the market.

Oh I think there was some value in WeWork. OfficeSpace-as-a-Service that was hipper than Regus and offered consistency across many cities. But obviously far less value than the money being pumped into WeWork would suggest.
Yes there is value in the product, its like fancy Regus, which is a real business. Its not worth what it was worth.
