Don't forget you get a greater abundance of "meetups" type clubs and meetings than you did a couple of years ago, which can offset the reduction of "third spaces".

Ok, meetups are in my experience still a niche / nerdy occurrence but it is getting more and more main stream.

Meetup.com seems to be filling the niche and becoming pretty mainstream. I've used it on two continents now. There are a lot of tech groups, which I assume was their initial market, but I've mostly used it for language exchange. My other friends have also been using it for general hobbies.
