Wait, so fancy roman homes had like knick knack shops and shit built in the front of them?

Mixed use zoning.

Reject Modernity: Abandon your home in an isolated residential development/neighborhood.

Return to Tradition: Embrace functional urbanism.

Ohhhhh you're talking fantasy like TV shows where characters have apartments right above/very close to useful social centers, like bars or restaurants.

Cool to think upper class was like sitcom living for Roman's.

Lol I love how that's just how a lot of people live nowadays in Europe. America is wild.
