I went to the article Steve referenced, and almost the last sentence
states, “Interestingly, according to secondary research, independent
creative class workers also consistently named the same needs, but ranked
their importance in almost the exact opposite order.” So according to the

Hi, Miles,
Oh, I understand it, and I'm 46 years old and was a lawyer before I entered
into another adventure in my life by immigrating to Europe. :-).
But I really think it's a broader issue, and I think you inparticular might
(if we are lucky) have some really useful insights about how comm
We also have to remeber that not only questions and a person who asks them are
important, but also the ORDER in which they are asked.
I will bet, that if we start a poll with a question: how many friends/ colleges
do you have? It Will impact (significantly) the entire research. I also guess

Ok... I'm 58 years old, have worked in corporate America, small
business, shared space, and home office. I kind of see where the study
results are coming from and expect that other older folks would agree.
So far, nobody else has agreed, BUT nobody else has given their
ages! How about inc
I think the people in this study (Corporate Employees) simply re-imagined their
current workspace, but nicer and without their pesky coworkers, for this study.
Anca.

Now I am going to have to get firm with you bunch o'hippie kids.
The choice between facilities rental and a community is a false choice.
I'll take both, thanks, who wouldn't? Where we work is a minimum
requirement for any number of independent workers, many of whom do not work
in corporations
Actually, I don't think it's that.
Each time I've left corporate America, to start something new, I've
generally had a team/network in place (in fact, I expect it's pretty
foolhardy to do a startup without one). I simply can't see that it

BINGO! YOU have that. But there's a LOT of people who don't have this,
regardless of their age. And that population is growing, again, regardless of
age.
Facilities rentals isn't going anywhere. Coworking is less about where we

necessarily what we think of as community, but it fulfills the lower-end of the
Maslow's Hierarchy of needs.
People won't prioritize missing something that they don't realize is missing.
I also find it curious that the
Makes perfect sense to me - then again, I'm 58 years old. I've got a
professional community and a network of co-workers. When I look to
renting space, it's not about the people, it's about the facilities -
and maybe about whether it's convenient for meetings among my existing
network.

And very interesting: they say these grown-ups prioritized community last.
