You won't find any argument from me on all those other things.

But pubs are a weird place to draw the line.

Every one of them individually seems like a weird place to draw the line. Social fabric and the ties that bond matter.

Probably because the line keeps getting moved. There's a lot of pressure to build housing with little to no consideration of community, either existing or new.

Just get rid of all the third spaces in an area and turn it into a lifeless residential suburb or something. Once pubs are gone it'll be something else.
