I don't WANT to own an apartment. I don't WANT to share walls with my neighbors. I want space to work on my hobby projects like with wood and metal. To make noise without upsetting anyone. To have privacy, and the ability to get away from people. I need a shed, a garage, and some yard space. The only way I can swing it is fewer people and more space. Europe is too crowded for that in many places. It sounds unpleasant.

Shared wood/metal project places are awesome. There's someone who maintains everything, and you get much better equipment. It's not terribly expensive (cheaper than owning it all yourself), and can be local if density provides it. Look at places like The Crucible in Oakland (which is more tailored to art) or local trade schools will open their doors

Not here. Got everything you want, it's bliss. Keep struggling, hopefully you get yours. Apartments are hell, I'd rather die than live in one again.

Kek. True, apartments isn't for me tho. I'd rather live further from than having people shit above me that isn't family.

What about a makerspace?

I have a shed. I don’t have a garage. I don’t have any more room for any more tools. Most of my tools are things I’ve used for one or two projects and that’s it.

Personally I’d much rather have a maker space that has a tool library so I stop spending so much money on tools that I need for one project. Like a hardwood floor nailer. I’ve got full hardwoods in my house now. Wtf do I need that for? Every time I find out a friend is going to start installing hardwoods, it turns out that they already bought the nailer by the time I found out.

I'm not opposed to it, but there's something nice about having your own workshop. Depends on what you're doing. I also have fewer and worse makerspaces where I am now than places I've lived in the past - it's a crapshoot.
