I was born in the exUSSR and there, if you want to find the most apocalyptic, neglected, boring and useless building which lives by renting out itself to some strange businesses (if at all), you can ask for the local community center.

Have you considered that you might just be jaded? Why should a 1980 USSR concrete building be your idea of the best that a "community center" can be, in the USA in 2020?

Doesn't your complaint have more to do with the USSR than it has to do with community centers?

Yeah this veered off into personal opinion real fast, I'm like we have thousands of Community hubs in Australia and they're great and only getting better.

For example: https://southperth.wa.gov.au/our-future/projects-and-places/...

I didn't even realise there was a connection to Russia until he brought it up.

I thought that would be the reply, but a community centre isn't a building but a function (that happens to need a building), but they're not the same.

Exactly that. Community centers there are useless and only work as a cheap building for rent
