    I think this is the real reason that carbrain has so thoroughly overtaken America. It’s our last remaining free space outside our house. You will get trespassed or ticketed for loitering if we hang out anywhere in public

      What sort of third places exist in other countries? I’ve always wondered. I’m in the US and we have a lot of parks, most of which have benches where plenty of folks go to eat lunch or gather, but that’s only feasible when the weather is nice. It would be amazing to have a third place with heat or AC where you can hang out. The library works in some cases but obviously you can’t eat there and you have to be quiet.
