These capitalist demands affect the morale of workers who don't get compensated fairly. It also makes it much, much more difficult for small businesses without $1B of borrowing power to compete with public companies. This limits competition (sales), which is bad for consumers. It limits competition (hiring) because small businesses simply can't pay (even half of) what a lot of public companies can.
So consumers lose. Workers lose. Everybody is stressed out and pissed off. The upper class is oblivious or doesn't care.
Another economic dynamic outside of major cities is that housing might be more affordable, but goods and services (mostly) cost the same as anywhere else in a global economy where prices are controlled by the biggest players.
