If you allow businesses in residential neighborhoods, "those" people might come there! The horror!

Agreed, it would wreck the neighborhood. Wreck it for the better.
Reminds me more to Edward Scissorhands’ neighbour
Was thinking the same thing.
Ironically, a hairdresser. The pastels would probably be too colorful for op's hood.
Remember, it's the land of freedom!
No, opening residential to commercial property would ruin it. One business won't...the droves of others will.
Businesses don't usually just completely overrun entire neighborhoods, and "opening" doesn't mean "do whatever the fuck you want". You can still specify that you don't want night clubs or auto shops in a specific place.
Mixed zoning is the norm in Europe, and it sure as fuck doesn't ruin any neighborhoods, quite the opposite in fact.
In Spain some people play an uno-reverse and live in industrial zones. There's also restaurants in industrial parks.
I was struggling to understand this thread as a European running my business from my home, in my case I'm more of a "go visit" than "receive visits" but I also know of others in the neighborhood that do hairdressing, electronics repairs, etc.
I also have multiple supermarkets in walking distance...
it’s as if you think the alternative is businesses being like “alright boys, suburbs are on the menu”.
of course there’ll be regulation, mixed use zoning doesn’t mean chaos.

That's not how cities work.
Home based businesses are normal in Canada where I live, people have hair, massage, other aesthetic studios, small scale businesses, professional services like counselling, etc. Heck, you can even rezone some corner properties to a neighbourhood commercial zone that only permits a handful of uses like corner stores or coffee shops.
The less homogenous a neighbourhood is the better it is for everyone. Unless you like being a slave to your car and driving 15 minutes to the store when you forgot milk.
I see you've never lived and worked in a pleasant walkable community
no, it won’t. where did you get that idea from?
What do you mean by "others"?
Other businesses
