A comment on Ask HN: Is my local hacker space unusually dysfunctional?.
Our local space is pretty well run and we don’t have most of the things you mentioned.
Ours is run by a nonprofit with a board that manages to keep most of the riffraff out.
People basically being vagrants and living in the parking lot while working at the space is pretty common though.
The most annoying problem is people not cleaning up after themselves. I think that is a problem endemic to almost all maker spaces though.
