We Regulate the Wrong Things

Grocery stores on the lower floor of residential buildings is the norm here (I can think of five within walking distance) and I never heard people from those buildings complain about that. Restaurants yes, but even there I suspect it varies with the cleanliness of the place.

Maybe there are building adaptations to reduce the problem, that stores in that area don't do?

Presumably, the people who elected to live in a building over a grocery store would be exactly the type of people who wouldn't later complain about it.

This same principle doesn't seem to apply to people who buy cheap(er) houses near an existing airport, though...
