The ones most affected by the changes (tenants affected by zone changes) have no skin in the game. As soon as situations turn sour, they move, they dont fight. Why establish roots anywhere, why call a community your home if its owned by a corporation?

community is more than just where you live. Why can't your community be the group you do leisure activity with? Why can't you have a digital community? Why can't your community be spread out geographically, and meet up in public places for community activities?

Why call a community your home if it was built by you but with tools made by a corporation?

Economic specialization is a thing.
