Is there a time besides maybe the 2010s where people had more disposable income ? What 3rd spaces did we have decades ago that we do not now ?

We have surrendered the future to religious extremists which is pretty depressing

What 3rd spaces did we have decades ago that we do not now ?

It’s not necessarily that they’re entirely gone, but there’s fewer of them, and they may not be as accessible. Off the top of my head, a few examples might be things like:

  • Public libraries
  • Social clubs/Youth clubs
  • Open spaces
  • Skate parks/outdoor gyms

Some communities are managing to hang on to their third spaces, or even create new ones, but it seems to be very uneven.
