These controls impact income of the business in the name of what is good of society.

There are a few players that make a great living in those areas, but majority would not.

It's that bad.For all of the people who just want to run their business and give people a good service, there seem to be as many people who relish the control landlords have over people's lives and wouldn't hesitate to use it on a toxic whim. 

We need to be creative about how to deal with difficult situations while remembering that it's a situation beyond everyone's control.
