I live in a small downtown condo. I don't have room to store a whole lot of extra stuff but I also have hobbies like camping, watersports, etc. I keep all of that stuff in a storage unit and I access it fairly often. Since I have it I also use it to save all the boxes for my electronics (77" OLED is impossible to move safely without original box for example), car maintenance stuff, larger tools I use less frequently, etc. It is about 3 minutes drive 10 minute walk from my house. I definitely do not use it to hoard stuff I will never touch again.
I love to wood/metal work. Tried doing that while living in Manhattan for around 3 years. Workshop in a storage unit in Brooklyn. The whole thing was stupid. Found out that if I have to commute to or share something (gyms, workshops, trails etc.) then I’m not going to end up doing it.
Just ended up moving out of the city, got around 50 acres and now my wife can’t get me out of the workshop and I’ve worked out every morning for the last 4-5 years. Shared facilities just aren’t for me.
