I once lived in a city that had a by-law where all businesses were closed on Sunday. At first I found the law annoying, but honestly those super quiet Sundays really grew on me.
When I went to Tuscany there were places I visited with half day work hours and Sunday everything was closed. People just enjoyed life, not needing to shop, but just living. I crave a society like this.
That was pretty much everywhere in my province until the late 90s or so...
