I love the /gathering x /urbanism crossover
If there aren’t any public third places, create your own! For example, Jon Jon hosts Thursday “Popsicles on the Porch” on his front lawn
Tip: invite neighbors but also seed the gathering with friends so it looks “spontaneous” when people pass by

Too many people trying to solve loneliness as an epidemic problem, not enough trying to just hang out
