Greek living in Athens! I learned about third spaces when I was a broke university student that needed to escape home.

Does your area of the world still have a number of these?

To be honest, there aren't many options around here with zero costs. There are a couple of public libraries one can visit, but they are packed, especially during finals.

However, Greece has a ton of coffee shops, and you can hang in them for hours for the cost of a single coffee (3-5 euros).

or are they in the decline?

Coffee shops are thriving! Tourism is an issue, with more and more places targeting tourists instead of locals.

Do you know if your in-person communities are trying to establish or renovate theirs to help people connect or reconnect with one another?

I don't know.

For me the greatest issue is transportation, the nearest place is 20 mins on foot, other means of transit somehow require more time. On a good day, that's okay, but if I am feeling a bit depressed it's far enough to be a deterrent.

Yes, deleted Reddit but I am keeping my account.

Greek here, they were illegal immigrants. They were helpless people in a boat with a broken engine. They were people fleeing from a war. They were people that didn't ask for help fearing pushbacks, concetration camps, and police abuse. They were people the coast guard stood and watched them die for 3 days.

This should be at the top!!
