> a big difference between giving a voice to "the people who work [there] " versus to the people who own businesses there

There is, and in it a tradeoff. The businesses will prioritise growth over liveability and working conditions. Workers working conditions; both will select for incumbency. Residents (within and without) want living conditions and, if they’re economically literate, competition in both business and labour.

It’s an interesting topic that doesn’t deserve dismissal at face value.
