They could rent a huge warehouse on the edge of the city centre, but that would attract probably a different audience they aim for.
If they generate $1.3B loss with those prices[0] then how they see a way to make a profit? It's not like self driving coffee machines will save them :)
I don't get it.

Unless I am misreading the comment?
Saying we don’t need WeWork (or other for-profit cowork places,) is like saying that hotels should close down in favor of business travelers staying on communes.
There is both room for and value from both for-profit and non-profit versions of these things.
Among other tings it means that all profits go towards furthering the organization instead of to a group of investors or shareholders.
