I just read some of the public comments and they are some of the NIMBYiest I've ever heard.
"Concerns about crime due to the business having a cash register" really?
"Why encourage a neighbourhood business when commercial destinations are accessible by car in less than 10 minutes" Yeah, everyone has a car and wants to drive 10 minutes instead of walking 5.
Communities would be more vibrant and lively with people walking to nearby shops instead of driving for every simple errand.
