Why drive to the shops when they're just downstairs?

A lot of the new buildings in my city have stores and restaurants on the griund floor with apartments above. Also there are older places with apartments above a business in my city. It seems like its just post WW2 construction wanted to get away from it. We seem to be moving back towards that.

There are lots of places with apartments on the 2nd floor and businesses on the 1st floor?

Yeah very common in small towns around the square. Many of them are offices upstairs now too.

It's where the small town lawyer always lives in a John Grisham book.

Pff, much nicer to invent a situation and use that to justify destroying your country.

I think OP is talking about a single building with single-family occupancy and commercial storefront. At least in the US, a lot of single-family residential zones exclude commercial use.
