If you get enough friends to come over, eventually you can all pitch in and rent a small property that is centrally located between all of you. You could stock the kitchen with coffee and healthy snacks. Maybe you could even get a whiteboard and a ping pong table! Wait a minute...

It's a joke but a huge difference between this and an office is you only have to be around the coworkers you like

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.
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.)
Why can't they use the library? Ours are very nice.

Libraries are very nice for focused solo work, but all the ones I have been to are supposed to be quiet places. If you need to join meetings and talk they don't work very well.
But managed to have close friends come over to stay for a week at our place and we plan do go visit them for a week.
Great benefit of remote work. I don’t have to take time off to visit long distance friends or align vacation time with them which seemed earlier impossible because everyone has different commitments and well we would have to align a lot of people to agree on single destination…

And you don't have to work for the same company, which means if you change jobs you don't suddenly lose your social network.
