It seems like a lot of newer mixed use buildings have really big commercial spaces in them that can be hard for a small business to afford. The most dynamic spaces are often in smaller footprints in older buildings. If we allow older buildings to be redeveloped into large mixed-use buildings, we should try to ensure that these new buildings allow local small business owners a chance to stay in the 5 /policies/access-to-commercial-goods-and-services/ area. 4/16/2018 19:24 Everyone needs a full service grocery and hardware store nearby.
