I live in an apartment and my shop is a 12' x 35' bay in a self storage unit attached on all 3 sides. Steel, steel and more steel with 16' roof line. VERY Hot in summer. Also have to drive almost 5 miles each way. Wanted a shop and now I have one. Everything works off of a single quad outlet 20A total. I made the worlds largest extension cord and I never have to use any other. Made it with quad outlets every 10' on both side walls. I am alone in there but still have to remain aware of pretty much one machine at a time.
If you want a shop bad enough you can always find a way.

For the price, I couldnt think of any other alternative than a self storage unit. I have done that before while living on my boat for around 30 years or so. My rent is $200/mo. Some of the older self-storage locations allow it and the newer ones do not.
No heat, no AC and only one 20A outlet.
