I'd love some sort of office to go to in town, since I also work from
home....  I've looked into office space and it's simply not cheap.

The security issue is definitely a problem.  I'm pretty sure my company
would say no to an arrangement that let other people access part of my
office space.  The only real way around that is a shared office space
with physical walled off sub-offices with locking doors.  Unfortunately,
that'll drive the cost up again.  It might still be cheaper than renting
a single small office but probably not by much.
