Have you tried working in an actual library? Most public libraries have WiFi these days.
- jefurii 9y agoI love libraries and my city has some truly beautiful ones. The problem with working there is that unless you work in a group you have to basically pack up your whole setup if you want to go to the bathroom or get a cup of coffee. The coworking space I'm at has physical access controls and the members/residents/inmates all know each other.
- specialist 9y agoOur public libraries are now homeless encampments. As the other reply noted, no bathroom / stretch breaks. Our local university libraries are pretty good, when I still had wifi access. My laptop camping secret is hospitals. Free wifi, pretty good cheap food, clean bathrooms. I've also found a few local companies which have their own cafes, which are still open to the public. I'd probably pay $5/hr to laptop camp. I generally "pay rent" where ever I'm camping with tips, treats, and coffee. I'd rather just pay outright. A cafe, event space, or study zone that allocates hours for quiet time will clean up. I imagine all the vacant 2nd and 3rd story retail getting repurposed. Maybe even mall vacancies, kinda like the board game retailers & hosters are now doing.
