Businesses don't usually just completely overrun entire neighborhoods, and "opening" doesn't mean "rules? fucking gone, do whatever the fuck you want".
Mixed zoning is the norm in Europe, and it sure as fuck doesn't ruin any neighborhoods, quite the opposite in fact.
Japan too
Canada too. I lived on top of a tattoo and vape store across the street from a cafe and grocery store. There were rules to keep the face of the buildings looking kept up.
I was struggling to understand this thread as a European running my business from my home, in my case I'm more of a "go visit" than "receive visits" but I also know of others in the neighborhood that do hairdressing, electronics repairs, etc.
I also have multiple supermarkets in walking distance...
