I agree with Erica, I'm all for the growth of coworking spaces, but all of the spaces that exist in SF are struggling to stay full. Citizen Space only has 6 rentable desks and 1 is open...and we have ALOT of press, karma, community pull, buzz, etc. - but there is a really nice space: Sandbox Suites, that still has probably 30 spaces open. And it's a fantastic space in a fantastic location with a nice vibe, boardrooms and all of the amenities.
Is this part of the NASA CoLab project? I was under the impression that the thought was to use the very cool old gentleman's quarters on NASA property for this (complete with lounge and pool)...did that fall through? Why San Francisco, then, and not Mountain View? Or Sunnyvale?
