The solution to the loneliness epidemic is the expansion of public goods: tool libraries & repair cafes, community greenhouses, municipal saunas, winter garden parks
These simultaneously reduce the need for wage labor while creating public communal spaces for socializing

Every town should have a tool library. It may seem like a small thing—a storefront full of tools anyone can borrow for free—but it’s a **real utopia**: a world full of public goods; reinvigorated communal life; abundance AND degrowth; use value instead of commodity value

An infrastructure agenda for municipal eco-socialism, Pt. 3!
1) Tool libraries & workshops
Every town gov’t should operate a tool library where residents can check-out tools as needed. This would make tool access free & universal while dramatically reducing resource consumption
