At the start of the pandemic I looked at a new co-working space and it was like $200/mo membership fee for the open space or $500/mo for a tiny private office/closet.

Meanwhile, my apartment (paid for), a large library (free), and several cafes (~$3 daily contract) are a block away. It just doesn't make economic sense at those rates.

Co-working spaces are useful when an extra bedroom would cost you $500/mo (or much more) anyway.

Libraries where I live have limited seating. Cafes can be really hit or miss in terms of power outlets, large enough desk space, and noise. Both don't have 24/7 access, nor do they allow you to set up a workstation with monitors.

They are not worthwhile if you have ample space in your home and only desire to get out a few hours a week to a cafe.
