Thought provoking video from one of the great minds of our time, the guy who operates the Not Just Bikes YouTube channel.
It’s about how great it is to have a neighbourhood with a ‘third place’, a place that isn’t work or home where you can hang out and meet people. More importantly, how suburbia zoning is making places like this extinct. My own neighbourhood is slowly introducing third places, but it’s only possible because we have a ‘main street’ and the neighbourhood is small. We also have a place called Angel’s Cafe on the walkway beside the Bow River, but this place is an anomaly, and would never get a green light if it were trying to get built from scratch today.
