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

And while all the participants were working on their own projects, together, they were collectively and concertedly proving two points: one about the high cost of coworking spaces in an already unaffordable city, and another about how the space currently dedicated to on-street parking in cramped cities like San Francisco could be put to better and more human-centric use. On April 25, the San Francisco-based coder Victor Pontis, sick of working from his apartment but unable to afford a membership to a coworking space like WeWork (which can cost upwards of $400, while rents in the city average around $3,800), dragged a table and chair out to a vacant parking space and worked from there for the day. He’d been joking around about doing just that on Twitter with a couple other people in San Francisco’s urbanist scene (Pontis volunteers for YIMBY Action, a group in the city that advocates for more housing development and better use of urban space).
