It&#x27;s the same old suburban flight problem, except that it&#x27;s happening to a residential neighborhood rather than a commercial city center.<p>They have parking problems: consider 4 small businesses in a 2000 sq ft house: that&#x27;ll be 8 or 10 cars parked around the house, rather more than the property is designed for. I&#x27;d imagine traffic during commuting hours would be interesting, too, given that residential neighborhoods are usually laid out to <i>prevent</i> it.<p>The start-ups and the pseudo-commercial property owner are primarily interested in keeping costs low, rather than keeping the neighborhood viable. Residents can no longer expect infrastructure upgrades (other than street maintenance) if the commuters are in the same voting area. Even if they aren&#x27;t, you can probably expect the tax base to go down since they probably will go back to their own neighborhoods to use other facilities.
