Nominal fees are like congestion pricing. If you don't have them, the space loses its ability to fulfill its original purpose.
- KittenInABox 3y agoI strongly disagree with this for children & community buildings. Children shouldn't be subject to congestion pricing. Teenagers should be free to rove a mall and be harmlessly loud and messy without being pressured to buy something-- chances are they will buy something eventually but it shouldn't be a requirement just to participate in community. I also wish my local makerspace didn't require a purchase. They should be funded by a government grant or wealthy donor such that impoverished people can learn skills and find community as equally as those with the spending money to chuck 5$ on a doodaad they'll never use.
