Ending single family zoning is also required to allow corner stores, not just allow apartments.

Those would be the pre-war streetcar suburbs and similar post-war suburbs. The funny thing is that there are “missing middle” apartments in my neighborhood and similar ones. The duplexes and up were just banned for decades.
