Yes, renter so, far. And I am vaguely aware of the control/ordinances, etc. government impose on property owners --many for the greater and one's own good. But at some point it becomes too much. My favorite is the old window tax they used to collect in France, among other places, centuries? ago. People boarded up their windows.

I also am very wary of the Chavezist instinct to blame property owners and businesses for the faults and failings of bad government planning and policies.

Yes you are correct, the point it usually becomes too much is when you, as an individual, have to begin paying it. Or in this case when a business feels it's paycheck is being affected.
