I'm a woodworker in San Francisco, originally from the east coast, and I can absolutely identify with the your troubles with the california flakiness (and don't even get me started on the metal only shops). Some of the greatest folks out there to talk to and make friends with, but when it comes to something like sharing a shop, it's all but impossible. It seems like having a workshop on a porch would be the worst possible place, but I can understand how you ended up out there. The last post seems to have a lot of good ideas for dealing with the city though.
