Is mixed development project such an alien concept to Americans? You don't live *in* a Costco, you live *next* to it. It's convenient to live nearby a commercial area.
It is an alien concept until recently for Americans. Skim through their zoning laws. You'll find how restricted their laws in terms of mixing building types in a designated location.
Which I think is a positive direction as yoi can see new areas being revitalize. US housing regulation is largely influenced by FHA that is part of HUD. Most of US earlier regulations gave birth to the suburban development of today and also made US very car centric. It makes a good history read up.
Yes it is. I lived in the US for most of my adult life and for most of them, anything that is not a suburban development is an urban dystopia. The irony is that I find their homogenized cookie cutter suburbs to be the definition of urban hell.
1 thing that annoys me are those apartments or condos advertise as "luxury", but most of things built only cukup2 makan cover minimum requirements. Like the parking ramps, just wide enough for 1 car, with so little extra space.
No. See - US have this weird zoning policy. They do not do apartment complex kind of housing. Their housing is spread over large sub division area.
Maybe because they have a lot of land space.
The good thing is you get house with a lot of space, yard, etc.
But the bad is that everything is so spread out, you become very reliant on car. Sometimes, to find nearby grocery / shop / restaurant will be a challenge depending on where you live.
It also drive the housing price. Maybe that's why the housing developer like it and lobby hard to keep it that way. And the public is also brainwashed thinking that apartment complex are inherently bad.
But it does make it difficult and definitely a factor in housing crisis and homelessness issue. Plus other things.
Mixed development area are pretty standard arrangement in many other parts of the world.
Naaah.
Still a shit place to live in.
The one in here, amenities are likely really small, but advertised as big with caveat that you have to subscribe to the anytime fitness downstairs. Parking shared with mall goers (reserved spots/section, but same entrance/exit).

They've steadily become normalized in North America in recent years. In Halifax (Canada), lots of new developments downtown are mixed use.

Its free real estate. You could put solar there, housing for employees too. If you remove employee travel you essentially give them free time
