I do see the concerns, and I guess it can paint a troublesome picture of an "always working" community. But let me ask you: has it been any different for many, many of the freelancers out there, without the help of WeWork and such? Blaming an affluence of commodities generally only found in well paid big corporate jobs, or short commutes for the danger of never really stopping to work as a freelancer is at best ignoring the work reality of many, if not most, as it is already now. The reality (even if its just the starting years) more often is: you get out of bed and over to your desk, and everything around you is work and distraction at the same time. Beeing able to jump into a place of likeminded people with a certain level of comfort & leisure and being able to afford infrastructure and ressources generally inaccessible to a one-human-show is invaluable, and working amongst peers will do A LOT to keep you from burning out in the first place. To stick to a schedule and stop working at the end of the day is something you'll have to learn no matter the environment!
