Where are they gonna go? We destroyed most of our third places, or made them so expensive to extract maximum profits.

Dinner is expensive, movies are expensive, small friendly local shops have been disappearing in favor of sterile corporate ones.

For a lot of people the only option would then be a home, which doesn't work great for a lot of reasons.

Be good company and time spent anywhere becomes worthwhile. It has to start somewhere or capitalism will continue to price us out of even the simplest of human experiences.
