Woops, this seems to have struck a chord. I’ll expand:
In the last decades (probably the last century actually) spaces to just hang out in public have decreased, while roads have become less safe for light road users - pedestrians and cyclists, which teens overwhelmingly are.
Additionally, online spaces have become a refuge that didn’t use to exist for teens looking for communities that are hard to find - anything from very specific nerdy hobbies to LGBTQ+ groups. 2/4
