Or we could just pay service-workers more. If you'd like to have a cool bar where the employees can afford to live in the neighborhood, then create one. Charge enough per drink to pay the rent and advertise why. I'm curious if it'd succeed.

I don't know if working as a bartender to owning a bar is that easy of a process.

In Boulder at least, I'm not there to drink at a cool bar, work at a cool bar, or own a cool bar. I'm there because it's a livable city. Or was a livable city.

Then it sounds like you don't care if the bartenders move elsewhere. Which is reasonable.
