Well our Nevada City Common House actually does get used just to hang out...kids do homework, people use the free common house wifi, find a quiet spot to read, spread out a project on the dining room tables..... And while the "passing thru" may not add up to a lot of hours...it definitely plays a critical role in our community relations...checking in on something with the cook, general chit chat... The little interactions that really make community life.
