Barnaul business blues: permits, rent, and tax ghosts

starting a business in barn? yeah, i thought i could just spray some tags and call it a day, but the city’s paperwork is a whole other canvas.

- permits feel like trying to tag a moving train
- rent for a tiny studio? about the price of a couple of cheap coffees each month
- tax folks love to chase freelancers like a stray cat

drunk advice from a guy at the bar: “don’t trust the landlord who says “no taxes””
overheard rumor in the market: the new tax hike is hitting the creative scene hard

the weather today is that bruised teal sky, like a paint spill that never dries, and the chill bites so hard you can hear the next town over, biysk, whispering through the wind

i’ve been asking around and here’s what i’ve gathered:
