        My favorite is when they become libraries.

        They start as buildings for a weird book club who keep reading bits of the same book over and over. Then, they transition to centers of learning and public investment. Big win.

          I don’t think most communities need a library every 5 to 10 blocks, or 2+ at one intersection like churches seem to be in the US.
