    America doesn’t have communities. In a normal civilized country there would be grand plazas, city centers, districts to walk/shop/eat/live life.

    We have work/home/and maybe a night out sometimes. We shouldn’t be offloading thr responsibilities of city planners and band-aiding small business by forcing companies to hire in office staff.

    We need better, more efficient cities in America, it is the reason everything is going to hell here.

      Yes. That’s called a city. I don’t know what cities you have in mind but this is how I would describe my city of Philadelphia.

        Yeah, and driving to park in a massive parking lot that takes an additional 5 minutes to get inside a store is not a shopping plaze, and no open air malls with no actual communities near them don’t count as a “Third place”
