the loneliness epidemic in 🇫🇷 x 🇺🇸
Yes, third spaces exist in places like NYC. However…
One creator described it as “going to Disneyland and all the rides are closed except for Epcot where you walk around drinking & eating wildly expensive things” (blanking on who this was but if you recognize please tag him)
We have all noticed the shift after 2020… a big part driven by private equity 🫠
In France community + connection feel more centered / part of the cultural fabric here, with FAR MORE low cost & free spaces / events / social services to support that.
Let me know what you think
