A recent survey we did of over 120 people on the coworking list stated that location, location, location was crucial. Oh...and that meant close to public transportation and not a big commute (on buses and trains) from their homes.

Survey results here:

Hey gang...there is already a 'hub' in San Francisco. The Coworking movement (that Cafe Bricolage in NYC is hooked into) started here with Chris Messina, Brad Neuberg, Ryanne Hodsen, Jay Dedman, Ted Tagami and myself (Tara Hunt).

We currently have several coworking spots in the city:

and you can see much more discussion on the work we are doing around the world (as well as collecting all sorts of data in surveys, etc.) here:

p.s. there are spaces being started up and down the peninsula, too

Oh...and in San Francisco...even the most remote places run for about $2.00psf/month. We got a steal at $1.10psf in South Park, but it was the only thing we saw after looking for months.

We were aiming for the $2psf.

Oh...and there are WAY more costs than rent, btw. Check out our post on the costs of running a space:

And we charge about $350/desk + $225/floaters. Free for drop-ins, though. :)
