    Might watch the video later but is the jist that third places are a liberal cooption of the right to common public places for socialization? Town square, a commons, literally just the street in a neighborhood?

      The description says:

      Seems like everyone wants to talk about third place lately. Honestly, I don’t really get it. Ray Oldenburg - the creator of the theory - was not progressive by most definitions and he built his theory off of strict masculinity rooted in misogyny and homophobia. I really don’t like Ray Oldenburg and I’ll show you exactly why in this video. And on top of that I’ll give you something else to talk about - a more relevant theory called “The Right to the City,” which is the idea that we control how the places we live change over time - not profit-seeking capitalists.
