African immigrants, AA and other hair braiders and stylists cannot all afford those high downtown rents. Long gone are the glory days of D'mongo's like, posh and fancy salon's paying the big rents/ mortgages...
Many of the smaller braid, natural hair shops, barbers, salons and nail shops already rent or own store-front properties across the city that might otherwise sit empty - abandoned. And they are hopefully paying business taxes rather you prefer their offerings or not.
Re. 'Urbane', one mans urbane is another needs, goods and services. If not rowdy, illicit, or crime engaged I am fairly ok with them. I'd have to know what you mean about 'urbane'.
