No, opening residential to commercial property would ruin it. One business won't...the droves of others will.

Businesses don't usually just completely overrun entire neighborhoods, and "opening" doesn't mean "do whatever the fuck you want". You can still specify that you don't want night clubs or auto shops in a specific place.

Mixed zoning is the norm in Europe, and it sure as fuck doesn't ruin any neighborhoods, quite the opposite in fact.

Canada too. I lived on top of a tattoo and vape store across the street from a cafe and grocery store. There were rules to keep the face of the buildings looking kept up.

I was struggling to understand this thread as a European running my business from my home, in my case I'm more of a "go visit" than "receive visits" but I also know of others in the neighborhood that do hairdressing, electronics repairs, etc.

I also have multiple supermarkets in walking distance...

In Spain some people play an uno-reverse and live in industrial zones. There's also restaurants in industrial parks.
