> I so miss living in a nice area in the city and being able to walk over to a small supermarket, a café, a barber, within the same area.

So what’s stopping you? Move to the downtown area of any decently-sized city. You make it sound as if such areas don’t exist at all in the US.

Did you read the rest? There are significant differences between the typical downtown area of a US city, and what I was describing. In my experience, downtown is not exactly where children get to play on quiet streets.

But it is true that I don't know every larger city. So if there is a city where the zoning laws I'm lamenting do not apply, great, let's have that in California as well, please.

Post a couple photos of what you’re describing and I’ll show you some similar areas in the US then.
