Where the missing middle of housing isn't missing

https://www.targetmarketingmag.com/article/market-focus-amat... - " A survey conducted by National Family Opinion on behalf of Wood magazine found that approximately 5.5 million Americans actively participate in woodworking as a hobby"

There are approx 128.6 million US households so at most 4.2% of US households have someone who considers themselves a woodworker. There are numerous shared wood shops out there, so an even smaller percentage will have home woodshops.

I think the "missing middle" seems like a great option for the 95+% of US households who don't need a wood shop.

edit: I just realized you said "workshop" and not "woodshop" but I don't think it makes a huge difference to my argument.

For what it's worth, I actually was thinking of woodworking! (Except for the "outside hobbies" thing in which case I was thinking of blacksmithing)
