Slightly off topic but I've seen it repeated a few times that it is illegal to build shops near houses in parts of the US.

To me this seems kinda crazy. What is the justification?



To keep the neighborhood quiet.


And a boring wasteland? It is not shops that generate the most noise.


There are people who agree with you in the US, but far too few of them are on planning councils.
