We live in the best networking city in the world as far as I am concerned and the last thing I want to do is stay at home when opportunity is out there. I am currently working out of Sunshine Suites @ Tribeca West and I got to tell you I really benefit from meeting a ton of entrepreneurs, in fact I just heard a lecture in one of the conference rooms about social media law really helpful.
Huh? Who is 'we?' What city are you talking about? How does 'working from home' mean that you literally have to be at home working instead of just remotely working from a cafe or something where you can also interact with people?
The fact that you just created your account for this comment smells fishy to me too. It's a little suspicious that on an article where people are commenting that the author has a conflict of interest (i.e. claiming that working from home is bad, while selling office space), someone creates an account just to comment in favor of the product that the company is selling. You're not agreeing with the article (that working from home is bad) so much as you are praising/pimping the product.
This is one of the reasons that I feel 'crowd-sourcing' isn't as important as 'social-networking' because I would trust someone I know more than some random person that shows up just to make a single comment. You could be a real person that just wants to share you experiences, but you could also just be a marketing/social-media person for Sunshine Suites that's trying to 'drum up' some interest in the business.
