Well, it's not programming-related, but here goes...
I'm building a cooperative hands-on workspace in Brooklyn in an old warehouse. I have lots of interests that require space and tooling (old motorcycles/cars, woodworking, etc), and lots of friends in a similar boat (with fabrication, music, art, etc). I spent the last 6-8 months searching for a suitable space that I could actually afford, and finally found one about a month ago.
I'm in the process of gutting most of it (it's in gnarly condition) and rebuilding it to suit what I'm trying to do. If there's anyone here who lives in NYC, is good with their hands or wants to be, and is intrigued by the idea of getting a bunch of highly motivated and creative people together in one spot to build Cool Shit (whatever that may look like), feel free to get in touch.
Heck yeah mate! There's one or two of these here in SF (I'm currently working in the one I'm a member of) and glad to see others are opening up other options. Best of luck with everything going forward, I might reach out to check on your progress the next time I make one of my occasional trips to NYC.
