Yeah, it’s the loss of third places.
Like, it’s kind of ridiculous that I live in a house with 15 families and barely know anyone here.
But how should I know anyone? There’s no place to sit down and have a chat in the hallway. There’s no bench outside, because why would anyone want to stare at a street, in particular also because of what the article points out.The only guy I’ve kind of formed the mildest resemblance of a connection to, is a guy who occasionally takes the same bus and so we see each other at the fucking bus station. The guy sleeps less than 10 meters from me, but we have to walk 200 meters to meet each other by pure chance.
Shutting the roads down to let children play is such a Bristol thing to do. I love that city.
Honestly I think more roads, and more cars are a large part of this. Cars go faster now ( legal speed limits increased in many areas several times in last several decades ) and it’s literally more dangerous to play in the road now.
Good article!
Neat.
It’s what you get when you park people in these human sized rabbit hutches, breeding grounds for mental disorders and drug abuse.
I knew everyone in my village because we all played in the woods growing up, but y’all want.to destroy that.
