Where I live now is planned to be a 15 minute neighborhood. I moved into one of the first new developments of many, all residential, all within a 5-10 minute walk of a train station. There are about 1000 housing units being built, and there has been zero commercial development. It's great that they are building dwelling units here all around transit, but the only businesses that already exist are industrial, a gas station, and a dollar store. Commercial land owners have been refusing to sell to developers as they watch their land value increase. It's a real shame, but it does seem better than what existed before and the area certainly has potential.
