I used to co-run a hackerspace, but we were always broke, and most attendees were heads-down co-working (that's how we funded it), and hardly any hackers because very little equipment. If I were rich enough, I'd fund a free one, and just hang out there. Free, in exchange for you have to spend 30 minutes telling everyone else what project you're working on, or some other interesting talk every few weeks.
