• Third Spaces. They are spaces other than your house, work, or school where people meet. Most places in the US do not have third spaces. A lot of space in public- parking, restaurants, etc.- requires people to pay in order to be there. Many places restrict people under the age 18 from being there without parental supervision. Libraries and recreation centers come close to being third spaces, but do not have the funding to function as one.
