Americans are home more and hosting less

Original: Everybody’s home. No one’s coming over

A widely shared essay by Derek Thompson argues that Americans have stopped hosting one another: people are overwhelmingly staying home, yet visits between friends and family keep falling. Commenters point to rising loneliness, the collapse of third places, cost-of-living pressures and home-centered entertainment as reasons for the decline of the dinner party and casual drop-in.

Why now: The decline of in-person socializing and hosting touches a live anxiety about loneliness and community in America.
