      I know you mean like drinking and dancing, but in my head I’m like “yeah my chess club DESERVES a nice building”

        Well after I wrote it I thought, dancing-and-intoxicants clubs are meaningful to me and my friends, but I bet there’s all sorts of other clubs that would benefit from a dedicated, affordable space to flourish. Your chess club DOES deserve a nice building.

        YOU get a building! And YOU get a building… and YOU get a building!

        Small businesses on lower floors, apartments up top, I fail to see a problem.

          I love when cities have the small business + apartment layout.

          Especially when the ground level has something useful like a bodega, so people can just go downstairs for food and necessities instead of driving somewhere.

            A lot of city centers in Europe are like that but there’s definitely been an effect of suburbanization due to prices rising in the centers.

            While completely different, the best place I know for what you describe is Hong Kong, you can go down to grab a bite within 50m, pretty much 24/7.
