Newest coworking space costs just $2.25 an hour, because it is a parking spot

Has anybody tried to create something like AirBnB for co-working/office spaces? There must be people willing to rent out a spare bedroom they never use, etc. All you really need to provide is a desk and internet.

I hope they have the added cost of theft, vandalism, and medical. That looks really risky.

Was the reporter too credulous or were they in on the joke?

Welcome to Silicon Valley: where everyone has somehow bamboozled themselves into believing that working in a cramped parking space is more valuable than buying office real estate in LITERALLY any other state...

Remember kids: you don’t HAVE to live in California.

A lot of states have laws against office and living spaces being in the same building, if I recall. Maybe someone else has more expertise and correct me.

This would obviously make it difficult for someone to rent out their living room to $Startup, for example.
