Maybe US cities lack public spaces and no one can afford to do things in the private spaces?

What would you even do? Read a book, play a game, browse your phone, or something in these public spaces? What’s the difference between at home and in a public space with people?

People always talk about public spaces as if magically they would pull people in simply by existing and everyone would socialize with anyone else that showed up. That’s not what happens in reality though, because there are still public places in America and yet here we are anyway.

I saw a naked man masturbating on a unicycle once. So that's always an option.
