Coffee shops are the new third place because we priced everyone out of having actual community spaces


Agree

  • Parks and libraries got defunded
  • Everything else requires purchasing something
  • Community centers mostly disappeared
  • Shopping replaced public gathering

Disagree

  • Coffee shops existed alongside other spaces
  • Quality of coffee matters to people
  • Paying for space is reasonable
  • Libraries still free and accessible
