People in mixed-use environments may feel less of a sense of isolation  as places abound to walk, drink a cup of coffee, buy a loaf of bread, etc. where one might see other people and/or interact with them, as opposed to staying cooped up in their house or apartment because there is nothing to do outside of it.

Studies show that the presence of more people and bustle can translate into safer streets , as people are less likely to commit crimes with so much activity happening around them.
