Letters to the Editor for June 2
The downside of franchisingRe: the May 24 article “New Biden nominee has it out for critical Arizona businesses.”
Owning a franchise does not guarantee a high income. In many instances, you’ve just bought yourself a 24/7 job. Monthly franchise fees can be onerous, rigid operating rules suppress innovation, ongoing training and support is often minimal or non-existent. But the worst problem is the commercial rent lease terms. Most are “triple net” leases, meaning you pay a pro rata portion of the landlord’s property taxes, insurance, and maintenance in addition to the rent.
We are in a housing crisis. There has been a 300% increase in unsheltered homelessness from 2018 to 2023. Rather than paying the police to sweep or cite people living outside, let’s invest in accessible and affordable housing at the scale needed. The National Low Income Housing Coalition reports that there are only 24 accessible and available units in the Tucson metro area for every 100 extremely low-income households.
No matter how we do it, it is better for the whole country to keep the money circulating. It helps those at the bottom who will spend it. If we stop the circulation of money via spending cuts it is bad for the economy.
