This, but private seating in your personal driveway.
Wait, outdoor sitting is a thing only in europe?
Basically yes.
We don't do that in the US anywhere near as much.
Maybe a park will have a table and bench, maybe some certain restaurants in certain parts of certain cities will have them.
But its much, much less common, as our society is designed to be unwalkable, designed for cars and parking lots and air conditioning.
While I generally agree with the sentiment, the distinction is if there's outside seating it's either a park, or owned by a restaurant. It's not like the blend of the street, sidewalk, businesses you see in Europe
I agree with your specification.
The kind if mixed use, areas that are walkable, have seating, various kinds of shops... usually only in a few districts of a few fairly large towns or large cities.
There is seating, sometimes, in like... restaurants in basically a strip mall type set up... but they're like islands, surrounded by acres of parking lots.
