Possible solution: Trademark the term "hackerspace", sue those who do not
meet stringent ideological requirements.

I'm not surprised at all to see someone who's into hackerspaces for the
second reason get annoyed when he thinks a hackerspce is getting confused
with a work space.

attitudes like Marc's that drive
away people from the "true" hackerspaces. Live and let live: just because
his space has a different organizational model than yours doesn't mean it's
some sort of evil masterplan to steal all your members and get rich by
squeezing money out of them. There are spaces in sf / oakland that charge
$250 a month and all you get is a desk and an internet connection. There's
room for a whole spectrum of spaces in the bay area. Mitch Altman's dream
is a day where there are more hackerspaces than liquor stores.

Seems like sort of a blend of Tech Liminal,
Techshop, and a hacker
space. Not clear why you think it's a bad thing. I don't see it claiming to
be anything that it is not.

Co-working? yes
Makerspace? yah
Tech startups? check
$200 monthly dues? yep
For profit? nothing stated to the contrary. seems likely.
Hierarchical organizational structure? assumed guilty until proven
innocent
Attempt to make their business venture more successful by luring in
hackers from local non-profits? sounds like it
"People frequently ask me how I came to be such an unconventional

By being unusually modest? No? Oh, wait, is the answer: By co-opting
existing open communities into for-profit organizations?
If this is actually a non-hierarchical non-profit, then color me
embarrassed.
Someone please let me know that I'm wrong. Please.
