Services(including commercial services)seem to find a way to be implemented in much of the rest of the developed world.
The key difference is Puna is new. A new store or small business can open on every street in London and Paris because for hundreds of years other businesses used that same location.
In S.E. Asia the standard for many neighborhoods is to construct hundreds of three story shared walled buildings with a common parking area.
This permits a shopkeeper to open a small store or business on the ground floor, and live on 2nd and 3rd.
With this model the shopkeepers and homeowners are one.
The American model forces the shopkeeper to have a separate house, drive to work, and pay a high monthly rent on a store they will never own.
