there are places left where you can hang out for free, public parks are a good example. the "problem" is that they attract the type of people who can't or don't want to pay for a space to hang out. most people aren't interested in a place where they can go and meet anyone; they want a place where they can meet others who share some vaguely defined set of similarities. this is the part you have to pay for.
