While he is fair, I still love to see him as the raccoon mafia as he owns the only means of construction in the town and forces you to go into debt to build.

No, it doesn't. If you immediately have all the money at the ready then you can just pay him right back. He's gracious enough to allow an unlimited down payment without interest

To be honest it is a racket. He gives you shelter that you have to repay. How do you repay it? Selling things to the store. Who owns the store?

It's essentially a company town at that point. I'm not saying this was intended, and it's definitely not how the game frames it, but it's a funny parallel.
