@lain@lain.com Absolutely. My apartment in China had a small grocery, convenience store, laundry, pharmacy, school, community center, park, public swimming pool, and restaurants all within 15 minute walking distance. Re zoning, many of these places were repurposed apartments or homes themselves, and could exist because of the absence of zoning laws. My buddy lived in a high-rise apartment complex on the 20-something-th floor and somewhere around the 12th floor someone has purchased 3 condominiums, knocked the walls out, and turned them into one large convenience store. So, you never had to leave the apartment building to get snacks or beers or anything. In a neighboring complex this really cool dude had opened an Italian restaurant on like the top floor---the place was the size of a single condo (it was a condo, he just turned it into a restaurant). @aven@shitposter.club
