    I guess we could use a little ice age right around now, and it would also be nice to have a Renaissance around the corner.

    Someone said inns and taverns, and yes it’s a missing piece of housing here - long term hotels with food, bars/restaurants with rooms to rent above.

    Not much though, it is not a time I’d visit.

      Someone said inns and taverns,

      They’re just called pubs nowadays and many of them are still in business, with drink, food and music downstairs, and rooms for sleeping upstairs.

      The one in my neighbourhood is newly reopened and serves fancy craft beer these days, but the basics are actually pretty much unchanged since a tavern first opened in that house sometime in the 1640s.
