In addition, WeWork's locations (in Houston) are not out in the suburbs where many of us remote workers live. Instead they're deep in the city, where I have to fight traffic to get there. Traffic is precisely the reason people out here WFH. If I'm going to make the ~1hr drive I might as well work at one of the many funky coffee shops, cafes, or libraries the city has to offer. Hell, I could just camp out in one of my clients offices, they don't mind giving me a desk for the day.
Alternatively, if WeWork had a spot out here in the suburbs where I could escape the noise of my lovely four year old without having to fight traffic, I'd be game.
- ghaff 7y agoI'm not sure why this is apparently a statement worth downvoting. Personally, sans toddler, I'm fine with working out of a home office. But I have tons of colleagues who don't live in city cores who use companies like Regus for working space and conference rooms. There's probably more need in cities but at least some office space companies are in the suburbs as well. Don't know about WeWork.
- shiftpgdn 7y agoWhat suburb are you in? An open secret is they're working on a Woodlands location. Not sure about other suburbs though.
