[Vision2020] Economics of Business and new development

[Mark Seman]

The most "clean" businesses I can think of that would be viable and 
beneficial to Moscow are "mom & pop" home occupations.  For the most part, 
they are very low impact no matter what service or product is sold.

In lieu of one larger company employing 100 people, "what if" there were 100 
home occupations?  I would venture that the resultant entreprenurial efforts 
and business brainpower would surpass the community benefit of the one 
larger company.

The resultant personal interest and participation in community affairs would 
be higher, through greater volunteerism on community boards, activity with 
the Chamber, donation towards community events, continuity in family life, 
and the overall promotion of community good.

They are not a complete panacea, but home occupations can help Moscow grow 
economically, while at the same time minimizing the need for increased 
infrastructure.

And "what if" each had 1 employee ...
