Benchmarks —Coworking Space In Brooklyn, coworking takes an artistic twist. There are three coworking spaces exclusively for writers. One space has almost no desks. Another offers a bicycle repair service. But as well as authors, painters and cyclists, creative workers from all sectors can find plenty of great places to work.You can spend as little as $99 a month for a desk, or up to almost $500, depending on your needs. Brooklyn Coworking Profile Number of Coworking Spaces: 10 Number of desks: 340
Benchmarks — Entrepreneurial/Incubators “Entrepreneurial cities need to allow entrepreneurs to live in incubators. Zoning laws typically only allow artists to live where they work. Young entrepreneurs, frequently fresh out of college with flexible living requirements, plenty of energy to work 24/7, and little money would love to save money on office and living space while getting the chance to live with other likeminded people.”
