I was just discussing with a friend yesterday that lots of moments in the Spider-Man 2 videogame that are presented as being "New York" things, like people playing chess in a park, paint a pretty bleak picture of the rest of the US.
At least looking from this side of the Atlantic it seems that most Americans spend all of their time between home, work, consumption places, or in a car between those places. So they basically switch between being prisoners in a form of house arrest and being customers, leaving no space to be actual free people.

Give it a minute.
It's happening. The funding for libraries across the US is getting clawed back, and I suspect many (the majority) will eventually close permanently.
Here in the EU, the vibe in libraries is decidedly "get your books and GTFO". The old timey welcoming vibe and friendly librarians are a thing of the past.

What is this "money" you talk about?!
Or just a place to escape abusive households, or avoid peer pressure, or just be alone for a while. And God forbid, learn something.
