And massive corporations who are extremely profit driven.

I was born in a very small town in California. They didn't want to become just another highway stop for shopping. They wanted to keep their small town flavor/community/charm.

So of course they made TONS of rules and roadblocks to stop "The wrong people" from building there.

It's now a highway stop with a bestbuy and the like....because it turns out that the massive corporate chains can pay people to sit there and jump through your hoops, but the smaller well meaning community developer will just say fuck it and move.

Nothing wrong with that

People are free to choose what suits them best
