If you consider the way cities look where dense mixed-use buildings are the norm, the ground floor in lower demand areas is less likely to be regular restaurants or retail and more likely to be offices, institutional, or the kind of retail that we put in industrial strip malls. Thinking in particular of the Eixample in Barcelona.
Which is to say: ground-floor active uses aren't something you can get in the absence of demand.
