My Google alert keeps turning up the same laments, but your work takes it deeper. I visited a coworking place, btw, after we talked. Tough to impossible to create a third place there, though it was splendid for its purpose.
Third places should be organic and I wonder if Ray anticipated programmed third places or the Golden Arches East phenom where McDonald's revised social life in different cultural settings…
