    If libraries were open late they would be filled with homeless people looking for a safe, warm place.

    What I’m saying is we need safe warm places for the homeless AND libraries to be open late.

      There are still a ton of “third places” – restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are everywhere. They just cost too much money for a lot of people.

    Just throwing it out there: most libraries do have one late night day a week, there are probably a million people on earth right at this moment that would love to play a tabletop game with you or take a zoom class, every single area has clubs/associations/charities that would love some new faces.

    Don’t expect the universe to give you companionship. You need to do it yourself
