The old downtown area of the small town I had lived in most of my life had those kinds of buildings where there was retailers/restaurants/a bank below apartments. Shit, even the city hall building had apartments above it. One of my friends in high school lived in one of those above city hall.

I've always wanted to live above a restaurant that had a dumbbell waiter into my apartment and I could just order anything on the menu brought up that way

Imagine the look on their faces if you'd ever decide to order a pizza and it gets delivered at the restaurant.

Oh, I want that too!

Ok, now it's driving me nuts figuring this out. I live in Oklahoma and yeah, minus some small exceptions, our commercial and res are strictly zoned, and maybe this applies to other places where the strip mall and Plaza are king, and there's more room in general? Our 'town squares' are nothing but beauracratic stuff, bars, and historical buildings.

Yeah it's coming back with 4 over 1s and 5 over 1s, assuming we do go into world war 3.

There's also a variant where They take a plot of land, like 500-1500 acres. Put up Luxury condos, a gaggle of townhomes and a decent number of large single family homes then shove in a stripmall, gas station and grocery store in with it. The residents can walk to the grocery and a couple of food places, maybe a gym, shipping store, electronics repair store.

Unless it's a four-over-one with a stupid name and a hideous facade, and then it has to be someone else's store, and it still costs too goddamn much.

Even Bob still rents though.
