It only makes good sense to use public storage
Many go down that path. Have you priced public storage options recently? It ain't cheap.
In fact, as a fiduciary, one would argue it is not fiscally responsible to keep the goods in a high-priced living facility.
Bingo. It is also not fiscally responsible to pay hundreds (or thousand) of dollars a year to store a bunch of stuff that eventually will just go to the landfill or (at best) donated. There are also the costs of transporting and the hidden costs of mental/physical energy to figure it all out. Why don't the principals get rid of their stuff before they need to move? Same exact reasons.

If I wanted to start a small business (I don't), I would seriously consider buying/building one of those self-storage facilities. Where else can you rent 25 square feet of space for hundreds of dollars a year and have close to zero maintenance?
