    If this helps to reduce dependency on large corporations like Walmart and Amazon, then it can’t be done soon enough!

      Is there anything stopping a bug big [dyac] company from clandestinly creating smaller companies to take over? That’s my only concern, I have no care or interest in running a businss so I have no idea how difficult that would be to pull off

        Outside of major roads (the proposal sounds like it allows strip-mall-type businesses facing onto major roads), the limits are on square footage, traffic, hours, and compliance with residential noise and similar restrictions. Mcdonald’s probably wants to be open at 1am and have two lanes of drive-thru, but if some franchisee thinks they can make a go of it with a day-hour-only, walk-up-only store, I say let them try.
