Barbers could not afford any of that. Barbers are forced to move out because they simply cannot afford the new terms.

Rule 1 of real estate: if you want security of tenure, own your property.
Also have it in a jurisdiction where wealthy, politically-connected developers can’t just get the city to declare your area “derelict” and take it away well under true value. But that’s a whole other issue…
