tbh, their funtion isn't all that objectionable. Mixed use buildings are cool and good, actually. But the fact that they're made of cardboard and duct tape, look like ass, and are signifiers of gentrification are what suck about them.
As an example, large Japanese cities go extremely hard on mixed use buildings and are very livable despite their crazy density.
