“Rae outside is free” it is! And I am frequently at the park in the summertime. However: even in California (NorCal specifically) winters exist and it becomes quite uncomfortable

Coffeeshops close early and tbh a lot of them are built to get you in and out as quickly as possible these days. The latter is more true for large chains but the time factor is true across the board. The exceptions being the two 24-hour diners that exist in SF
I need a place where I can go and sip herbal tea and read a book in the evening!!!! they can even serve beer too if they want I don't care!!!! Clio's is sort-of that in Oakland, they just need the same vibe in SF.
“Libraries” during the day, yes! Yet again, the hours factor for nightshift workers. Bookstores are open somewhat later but they’ve become actively hostile to casual readers who don’t want to buy books these days
And tbh there’s a social component of bars that a lot of these spots don’t have. Even if I’m not actively talking to ppl I like the lively flow of ambient humanity. You don’t get that at a coffeeshop where everyone’s taking meetings on their laptops
And to the cheap factor: even in SF, I can snag a draft beer or whatever for like $7, and nurse that for an hour or so and charge my phone. And at spots where I became a regular, I have had bartenders who would pour me however much beer and wine I wanted at no cost (still tipped ofc)
