It also seems like the barrier to entry is low. I'm not sure there's anything fundamentally different between WeWork and the 3 or 4 other nearby co-working spaces. I share the WSJ's apparent skepticism about this sort of business.

In the case of the place I go, WeWork is different in that it's significantly more expensive.
