Well, imo the way to do this is to increase density and diversity of functionalities in the neighborhood which obviously is going to be hard in an existing place. With those two elements, we can make sure more people are close to another function and make sure people have a reason to stay within their neighborhood rather than go somewhere else to accomplish functions other than housing.

That said, changing norms is just a big challenge and it's even harder when it concerns housing.
