The classic example is libraries, but ideally I’m thinking of places you can have a conversation.
Interested in types of places (“libraries”) or specific places. Growing up we would wander around the local grocery store which was open 24 hours.

Third spaces. Capitalism doesn’t like these as they don’t generate a profit. So there aren’t many left.
Libraries, parks, anything publicly owned and accessible.
There are some privately owned third spaces, like the inside of malls. But that’s about it I think.

Car-dependent zoning did.
Why not both?

I’d say it’s not even capitalism but the rabid anti-tax people/movement. Third spaces like libraries and parks are paid for by tax money, and if people keep voting against raising taxes, well guess what. No more public spaces.
