My city is full of shops and restaurants run by people who worked corporate jobs for decades while saving up to open their dream shop. The commercial landlords have realized this, and raised rents to the point where profitable businesses are a financial impossibility—they just aim to drain their tenants’ life savings as quickly as possible while they line up the next hopefuls. The city is full of amazing shops and restaurants, but they have a turnover time in months.
Goat herding, on the other hand, is much less susceptible to commercial rent inflation.
You say that, but you still need land on which to herd the goats.
Seize the commons back!
