Fubar, your points carry a good weight. However seeing the big picture where businesses sponsors are locals, who too do not get what they want from a business, if their profit is all going to pay off the rent.

Again most of the shops are owned by a few dozen real estate companies, and frankly, if known, the govt. would never allow them to take advantage of the higher rents, as the govt. wants to promote businesses that directly or indirectly give benefitd to the locals on large scale. The govt. has earmarked, Qar. 2 Billion to support the business, because they know the decisive importance of the businesses and their growth. Real Estate boom would give benefit to a few, whereas the business boom would extend benefits to millions.
