I think the problem is two-fold:

1. Third places are few and far between.

2. People have lost the will and/or ability to spontaneously socialize with strangers around them.

I don't see any realistic solution to this problem. The convenience of online "socialization" is too much for people to resist and I don't think most people understand what a poor substitute that is for actual human interaction.
