I'm starting to think commercial landlords need some competition from local governments. They could create a privately-run charter corporation that rents out small amounts of space to local businesses. Not rent control, but reasonable terms (3-6 month leases, instead of 10-year leases).
There is too much NIMBYism and too many middlemen and archaic expectations in real estate for any mom and pop business to be viable.
