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.

      Because “capitalism ruined it” is a tired and lazy excuse. I’m more interested in actual causes.

        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.
