This is why I continue to hope the WeWorks of the world can give those folks an option "X' if they work remotely. The WeWorks here in Chicago tend to be more quiet. Not sure that's a reflection of every US WeWork.

However, at every WeWork I've been to in Europe (London, Paris, Milan), they were always hopping with people working remotely out of the common space area. It was actually fun to go in and work from there, socialize with people you don't even work with technically. When I was in Milan, I made a regular WeWork friend who was an American ex-pat working in Italy.

If you could get that replicated at WeWorks (or other co-working spaces in the US), I bet tons of people would go in and use them at least a couple days a week just to get out of the house and have an excuse to get downtown.

Then again - I'm a 30-something single person..... so I have a biased perspective on these issues.
