      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.
