Society in general just seems to be in need of more "third spaces".

These non alcohol third spaces exist, even for queer people, but they're not initially evident like bars, and are generally based on an activity. Also there's not nearly as many as bars.

Walkable neighborhoods, more parks, more public squares with restaurants, benches, large spaces for hanging out without car traffic running through it.

We all need spaces to be in that are outside work and home. It just so happens that cities (especially suburbs) aren't designed for it in any way whatsoever.

It would help people of all sexualities meet new people for hanging out, for love, or whatever else.
