They are both called mixed use, but are very different in terms of implementation. In Japan, you can start and run your own business in your your own house (like your garage), within certain limits. This is why there are businesses in Japan

The Levis's brand doesn't mean much anymore. They sell the same style (model number) of jeans at completely different price points for different stores at varying levels of quality. You can buy Levi's at $30 at Walmart, $40 a

I would expect a regional system to connect an entire regional area. Caltrain connects two parts of the Bay Area: San Francisco and the South Bay. BART connects the entire East Bay to San Francisco. In a functioning system, they would both
