I have good friends with a small business and every 5 years for a store they seriously re-evaluate what they're going to do with that store because they're always looking at 5-year leases that are a real commitment.
I know construction is hard for businesses like this. And I'm sure prices are going up for everything (including property taxes, rent, and electricity). But there's almost certainly a lot being left out and ignored to try and score political points against things they don't like. Running a business like that is a lot of hard work - and signing up for another 5 years at age 65 isn't something a lot of people will do for a lot of reasons not covered in that letter.
