Don't forget the commodification of all the 3rd places so now there's no real place for people to interact without having to spend money

Very thankful my community has public libraries, churches, community bike shops, makerspaces, etc because I know they're declining in some places, churches especially (too bad they're religious and they can't just switch to community organizations) also civic clubs like Rotary and lions club.

Can't take those orgs for granted they decay without involvement
