I'll give you a great example why

I was at the Outer Banks, NC last week and many of the restaurants were either closed or were short staffed. I asked one owner why and he told me that local real estate has become so expensive, and rents so high, that seasonal workers that normally staffed these business, literally have no ability to live/rent at there. Made sense to me.

Sounds like a business opt for someone. Round up a few used
mobile structures, trailers/campers, move them in and let the
people stay there for a few months and close ‘em down when gone.
Open ‘em up next year when the visitors began showing up.

last week and many of the restaurants were either closed or were short staffed because they are unwilling to pay the going rate for labor.

Fixed it.
