I couldn't live in a place that didn't have a workshop, that's what deters me from apartment blocks.
I think I'd join a maker's space or other shop-type coop if I lived in a city again. That said, cities stress me out - I can only handle the overstimulation for so long before I start sprouting white hormone hairs randomly out of my forehead.
But does that oppose you to them in general? Most people don't need a workshop.
That's true but I virtually never call tradespeople to do work for me. I like to be as self sufficient as possible and I derive happiness from working with my hands. I'm in my workshop almost every day, repairing and creating. I love the feel of materials and the heft of hand tools, it's my happy place.
I mean sure, that's fair and I'm not saying you shouldn't, I'm just asking if you're against it in general for other people
Then go get a workshop. Why does that have to be where you sleep?
In the past I've used off site workshops and they have their advantages but usually what happens is that I use them less and they are more vulnerable to thieves. They're far more expensive too.
If an apartment block had a shared workspace in the basement, that could work. I've never seen one like that. People who live in apartments tend not do things for themselves and have no need for tools.
