You may have heard of third places before, but in case it’s new to you, they’re essentially community spaces where you can chill & socialize…Like here, I suppose! But typically they refer to in-person community spaces.

Does your area of the world still have a number of these, or are they in the decline? Do you know if your in-person communities are trying to establish or renovate theirs to help people connect or reconnect with one another?

    I don’t know how to solve this in a place where real estate is high and there just aren’t rooms sitting around. I also think liability and cleaning weigh on this.

    It may not be much, but if it makes you feel any better, this isn’t the sort of thing for any one person to really address. It’s definitely more of a community effort to recognize the necessity for more lax, non-productive spaces (which may have productive spaces to visit on the peripheries).
