In 2008 startups actually could afford to have a garage to start. Not anymore ...

Depends on the location.

It’s probably cheaper now to get a sublease on commercial real estate or a lease in a class B/C building in most parts of the US than renting the equivalent sized residential garage. It certainly is in SF at least.

I don't know much about commercial real estate, so I checked LoopNet for my area. If you're not picky about the neighborhood, I'm surprised how cheaply you can get a garage-sized space.

But it's vastly easier now to start something that's totally remote.
