You joke, but this would be a good idea (I think: I could never get anyone to do it with me). The difference between this and an office would be that you'd only have to go in when you wanted, and it would be located in a place convenient to the people involved, rather than just downtown, or in an office park. You'd also have more control over how it was arranged. Plenty of downsides too of course.

> Plenty of downsides too of course.

Managing the rental (or ownership) comes to mind first. The rest of the logistics surrounding "stock the kitchen with coffee and healthy snacks" comes next. The "have more control over how it was arranged" part also comes with "need to make a bunch of decisions you didn't have to before".

(Essentially just playing devil's advocate; not trying to argue for or against the idea. I'm sure many people would prefer such a set up and many others would not.)

You'd just start a partnership or corporation, assign shares, receive stakes from people, and go in using that entity on an office space.
