Easy - make 'Light commercial' use of your house a constitutional right. There, all of USA fixed in one day. Now you can open a coffee shop in your garage, and it cannot be interfered with by zoning laws and mandatory parking minimums. And now your neighbours can sell pizza, and you can walk there and pick it up.
And if you have 2 days, allow apartments to be built withing 300 meters of any public transit.
- bongodongobob 3y agoYou can't be serious. That's where people park their cars and put their lawnmowers, snowblowers, etc. Good luck getting a garage OKd to sell food by the health department. Not to mention literally no one is going to buy pizza out of someone's garage. Where are you from that you think this is feasible?
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoYou are so stuck in your mindset you cannot even imagine that life in different across the globe. Britain people sell food from their house kitchen, on Deliveroo and Uber eats. Registration is really easy. Obviously I meant that you build a real pizza oven in your garage, and park your car elsewhere https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/starting-a-food-business-from-your-home https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/starting-a-food-bu...
- bongodongobob 3y agoBut that's my point, I feel like you can't imagine life elsewhere in the US. Someone having a pizza place in suburbia, in their garage is: A: Impractical. That's where your car goes. There's no where else to park it. Park it elsewhere, what? B: Not suitable for serving food. C: Completely ignoring the social norms of the area/culture. D: It's not dense enough for that to make sense. People will have to drive there for the business to survive unless all 100 people living in that 1 mile radius eat pizza every day. E: It's simply not big enough. F: Therefore, weather. No one is walking to an outdoor garage pizza place with no seating in the winter. They're not driving either. Look up Oshkosh, WI on Google maps and tell me where these customers are going to come from. There is enough commercial. There aren't enough people. Most of the country is very sparsely populated. The 100k cities have kind of a city core, but they are spread out over 400 sq miles. The rest is nothingness. Your idea requires completely resigning zoning laws against literally everyone's will, somehow adding parking for everyone's cars, and what, adding more busses that already don't get used?
