People who had space and people who needed it. People whose backs were hurting from working at Starbucks.  People who were sick of commuting. People who were seeking moments of connection and friendship to brighten the work day.  People who said, “I want more out of my life and my work.”

And she was up for it. 

I figured we could make a site and people could get to work. I started out trying to get more productive, and what’s happened is my life has been transformed not by all the work I’ve banged out but by the relationships I’ve made with all of you. You are open. You are passionate. You are making your own rules…and in so doing, you are making our world so so beautiful.  

Yes, the search needs work.  Yes, the pages could load faster.  But we couldn’t ask for a better group of people to be on this adventure with.  

You’ve made my life more full. My days more productive. My evenings more fun. Thank you for your generosity of spirit, your willingness to share, andyour willingness to believe that it is possible to change the way the world works.  

You guys are making it happen, one day and one conversation, one shared experience at a time.  We may be a small movement now, but we’re growing stronger every day.  I can feel it.

The folks who attended were knowledgeable and passionate about traffic pricing and gave us invaluable feedback on how to put forward a plan that meets the twin goals of raising money for public transportation and reducing traffic congestion while minimizing any adverse effects on working New Yorkers. Many thanks to Green Spaces for a great night!"

BBC, The New York Times and NY1, to name a few. But what does it really mean to be a 'Green Spacer'? We have a communal friendly atmosphere to conduct our work, our neighbours act as sounding boards, and we have connections to all sorts of businesses and non-profits. We’re all working towards environmental or social causes; everyone knows someone you should talk to! Sharing resources and ideas—the up and coming trend of Social Incubators—is one I hope to see grow exponentially. And if you are starting up a business or non-profit it’s a great way to gain access to knowledge and valuable tips on how to succeed."

"As the two founders of Crop to Cup Coffee Company, Taylor and myself poured all of our energies, funds and resources into the endeavor. Working from home we had a hard time getting the business to the next level. Home-based businesses face a wide range of challenges; professional, personal and psychological. It's just so hard to feel like a 'real' business without a 'real' office to call home, to meet with clients, and from which you can leave to go home at the end of the day. 

Once Taylor found Green Spaces in Brooklyn, he moved in right away. The very next month our revenues rose meteorically, allowing us to hire on staff, bring on new customers, and enter a cycle of positive growth that has sustained to this day. Green Spaces' flexibility and service made it possible for us to move out of our living rooms, and the community they've built has propelled our business' growth. I can honestly say that, without Green Spaces, we'd be out of business. Thank you, Green Spaces. "

I had thought that working at home or in coffeeshops was going to be a cost-saving alternative, but it turns out the investment I made in this shared office space has already returned dramatically. Engaging my officemates in formal professional relationships, and supportive and empathetic friendships, has played a huge part in pushing me from a 'freelancer' to a small business owner. As a graphic designer, I was introduced to a whole new client pool, and as an advocate for socially responsible enterprises, it's provided a wealth of resources and subjects to profile and be inspired by."
