I know a few towns in various US places that do things like:

1. Prohibiting large signs that can be seen from far away

2. No stores over 2 stories tall

3. No big box / chains stores

And wow, those places are magical!



2 is probably too low for a city. 6 to 12 outside a business center hit just right.


These places won't turn into cities - partially because they outlaw large chains / businesses :)

It's all locally owned business.
