That's unfortunately only true for old (100+ years) buildings, most newer developments don't have commercial space in the ground floor.

- ben_w 5y agoAnecdotally it feels like it should be more complex than that, as two of the three whose construction I’ve watched to completion since I moved here have ground floor commercial space.
- ethbr0 5y agoI thought about mixed use (commercial on first, residential above) when I wrote my previous, and left it out, because it seems like a nuanced subject. In that "Community spaces" is a subset of "businesses an owner leasing commercial space would rent to." I don't think we're talking about a Subway sandwich shop on the ground floor being helpful.
