Back in the day. We just had (mostly men) who used tools to make things to improve their lives. The idea of a garage filled with tools, so we could fix and make things use to be common.
The difference today, is that in many dense and expensive cities, middle-class people in their 20s and 30s live in condos because they can't afford homes with garages. Their parents had a garage though.
This is the market for maker spaces - not people who are lucky enough to have a garage to work in.
Precisely this. Im 41 years old living in a condo because i cant afford a home. Cant even change my own oil in my carport, have nowhere to store tools, it goes on and on. I hate having to pay monthly for makerspace access but its better than nothing.
