Yeah, it's the loss of third places.
Like, it's kind of ridiculous that I live in a house with 15 families and barely know anyone here.
But how should I know anyone? There's no place to sit down and have a chat in the hallway. There's no bench outside, because why would anyone want to stare at a street, in particular also because of what the article points out.The only guy I've kind of formed the mildest resemblance of a connection to, is a guy who occasionally takes the same bus and so we see each other at the fucking bus station. The guy sleeps less than 10 meters from me, but we have to walk 200 meters to meet each other by pure chance.

Totally true, nice article thanks

Shutting the roads down to let children play is such a Bristol thing to do. I love that city.

You're getting downvoted because you clearly didn't read the article and are spouting irrelevant bullshit.

I mean i preferred the woods over streets. What are u gonna do in the street? Boring ass playground.
On your own they are. But together with friends I played loads of games on the street until it got dark
When we were kids, we put a couple of rocks on the floor to act as goal post on play football.
Or someone's flip-flops.
From memories of my days playing in the road:
Throw a football, baseball (with tennis ball), street hockey, bmx racing around the block, 4 square, skateboarding.
curb corners act as bases for casual softball.
If we curb corners all the roads will be straight
