    Plenty in the US, too — I’m in San Francisco and there are tons of mixed use buildings, in both “sharp” and well-off neighborhoods alike.

      You ever been to a city that’s not San Francisco? One that’s newer? I think you’ll find that those kind of places are vanishingly few.

        Of course; my point was never that it’s a ubiquitous practice in the US, only that it definitely exists in places.

        One that’s newer?

        Sure (Seattle is newer, for instance), but that’s obviously not what you mean.

        I think we’re talking about different types of cities — new, rural, small incorporated cities are certainly very different than “capital C” Cities. I’m guessing this is the real distinction that we’re talking about…
