This seems totally at odds with the trend towards centralisation and consolidation. Can't have a 15 minute city without lots of small businesses, except maybe franchises. Maybe moving certain categories like groceries to a delivery model will free up the mixed use commercial spaces for nightlife and restaurants, though.

Hmm … that's pretty much my lifestyle here, though. Definitely viable. Also: no cars.
