I would like to suggest that EA members also evaluate the social impact that working spaces such as this can have on the local economy. There is an enormous backlash at the moment in Mexico City, particularly in the Condesa where this workspace is, because of the gentrification caused by remote workers. We all know what gentrification and its impacts are so I won’t expand on that further, but the scale of the impact in this particular area is so great that even food and menu are being changed, to not include as much chilli and be written in English.

If you are part of a work space such as this please also consider what you can personally do to adapt to local habits instead of having them change around you.
