Doesn’t sound like commercial use is included in this? This is more of a problem than I realised - I live in a fairly old suburb (in Australia) where I can walk to some small shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as having the option of two schools in walking distance if I had kids, and sort of take it for granted, but watching some videos about city planning recently (Not Just Bikes on YouTube is great, along with City Beautiful, Strong Towns etc.), I realise now that it is actually something that makes living here so enjoyable that I hardly even thought about. Then, getting an electric scooter sort of opened up a whole new world of exploring bike paths (I have hardly done any cycling since I was a teenager). Our city seems way better than most of the US and Canada at that, but could be so, so much better. So this seems like a positive step, but I think in general the goal should be having mixes of single family houses, townhouses/terrace houses, and low rise apartments with small shops, cafes and restaurants, with good walkability and separated cycle paths. As much as I love the flexibility of having a car, looking into this now I do agree that in a lot of places we have actually sacrificed the freedom to not always need to own and use a car to get a lot of places…
