Weird thought occurs to me... it's expensive to just "hang out" in public spaces these days. When people come to my house, they tend to hang out in the kitchen/dining room while I cook. So now I'm picturing a giant communal kitchen with a bunch of individual cooking stations and dining tables. Maybe this is a terrible pre-coffee idea and I don't want to leave the safety of my kitchen.
