It doesn't help that the city has been pretty antagonistic toward anything that might be considered traditional industrial uses.
If one was running a shop that repairs bent automobile wheels for example, perhaps calling it artisanal and adding an ampersand to your company name might get the city's seal of virtue-signaling approval.
