Americans need to learn about the concept of mixed use. The suburbs are awful because they’re out in the middle of nowhere. They’re always built in fields surrounded by other fields and with a big wide highway connecting them to, eventually the local city, but only have to passing through several industrial estates and a retail park.

Or you could just build your housing and your business right next to each other so people don’t have to drive anywhere.

But if you actually suggested that to someone they’d start going on about some weird conspiracy theory.
