    I can’t even afford to rent a room during normal working hours though. Plus, I’m pretty sure my local library doesn’t offer evening bookings.

    Asterisk: I can technically afford it, but I’m not paying like $160/mo to host a weekly club at the library. That defeats the whole point of a third space.

      Paying for something doesn’t defeat the point of a third place. Enterprising and profit do. People covering just the cost of materials required for their activity is not that bad a thing.

      I would rather more basic activities be covered by taxes too though.

        I agree with you, but I do wish our society/culture allowed us to exist without requiring constant payment. Just exhausting after a while.
