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"?
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
Wild to me that there is a law that legally allows me to literally shoot someone on sight, but can be arrested if trying to sell inofensive, day to day stuff at my house. American priorities first I guess?
Shoot anyone on sight bs shoot someone that just kicked in your door are two different things just of out that their.
And you can sell stuff oblibw oyr of your home. Yoy mostly haven nimbys that prevent mixed use zoning through lists of the us
