In Latin america is pretty much the norm that in small neighborhoods there is at least 2 to 3 small stores in ppl’s houses. I dunno about the US, but it can definetly help with the “car everywhere” culture, the enviroment and why not? also letting people getting some extra bucks by providing their neighbors with stuff they probably don’t want to buy in huge quantities or are too lazy to drove to the store for.
In America it’s illegal to run a store out of your house because white people hate minorites.
But it’s your house !?
I’m no lawyer or anything, but isn’t there a law that lets you do whatever the fuck you want to your house (something along the line of “castle bla bla bla doctrine”?
We have something called zoning laws. Some people here are blaming racism for these laws. Maybe that’s partially true, not entirely sure. But there are definitely other reasons.
Like you’re not supposed to put a factory next to a school. A few years ago there was a huge factory explosion in Texas and because of their shitty zoning it affected some school in the area. Can’t remember if kids died in that.
Castle docyorine is in regards to home defense should someone enter your house to harm you
Zoning lwas treat residential and commercial zoning means certain types of business like running an in person store is a no go
Yes, but like others have said there are zoning laws, but more importantly these suburbs are almost always included with HOA (Home Owner Association) and when you buy the house you are required to accept the covenants of the HOA where your house sits, however what makes this even worse is that most states give WAY too much power to HOA’s to the point where if you are doing something that does not comply with the HOA covenants, you can be subjected to fines, getting sued, or even have your house foreclosed on by the HOA.
I love the freedom I get in America
