We did, but they're mostly older towns. Where I live in California everything is within walking distance and I rarely use my car unless I'm going to another city. Which is good, considering gas is currently [ERROR] here. It's an old gold rush town and I love it.

Plenty of places like that exist. Even downtown in my major city has multi use complexes. So like a grocery store and coffee shop shop on the main floor and residences for the other floors. Even some condos are going this route.

Meanwhile, the grocery store a mile away from me is twice as expensive as the grocery store ten miles away from me, and moving to a walkable area is 3x the rent.

That's great! Hopefully we can trend towards that for future development.

Zoning and bylaws need to change first as well. Some areas in the city you just can’t do that without special permission, and other nearby residents get a say if allowances are made or not.

It’s an imperfect system, but it does stop edge cases where things get bad.
