IMO isolation in the West isn't a problem solved that can be solved with more physical affordances. It's cultural, and tied to social constructs of individualism vs. collectivism. In other words, the biggest hurdle wouldn't be offering the program, but getting people to come out.

agreed! and individualism has been baked into our commutes and working schedules in ways that’s very hard to overcome

I love this idea. When I was a young man courting my now wife, pretty much the default place we'd go till 11pm or so was Barnes & Noble. Our libraries in town closed at 5pm then. They're better now, but I'm a big believer in public spaces & love your thinking here

One summer I worked a 7 to 10pm shift at the bookstore bc it was too hot to stay home. We were the only place open downtown besides bars. We covered our costs easily, from sweltering people who weren't in a drinking mood, and I ended up marrying my favorite customer.
