How is this really that different from city centre multi use buildings where there are stores on the ground floor and living space on the upper floors? Especially if some of those are served by gig-economy delivery couriers.
Those stores get stocked somehow- usually not by semis.
- hetspookjee 4y agoI think you underestimate the traffic a warehouse gets versus stores in the ground. Also recently in the Netherlands they’ve decided that the 10min delivery grocery stores are actually distribution centres and are no longer allowed to set up shop in the housing areas, because of the excessive amount of truck traffic.
- spockz 4y agoIt wasn’t the truck traffic only. It was also the activity at all hours. Plus the deliverers on their bikes making lots of noise. Plus these stores being boarded off or closed becoming very ugly and shady.

- mschuster91 4y agoThat should be a matter for local government regulation or workplace safety authorities - a company should not be able to not provide adequate break rooms for their staff.
- asdff 4y agoIt probably wouldn't be a full amazon warehouse. It would probably be no more traffic than having a Target on the ground floor of your apartment, which is increasingly a common thing.
- Spooky23 4y agoA distribution center generates hundreds of truck trips a day. A good sized supermarket generates ~15 a week, but may vary based on the company and methodology.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoThe most charitable reading of your comment implies you’ve never visited a large scale warehouse and/or mixed used buildings. Surely you don’t actually believe the lack of a difference?
