I’d really love you to try and live in one of those cities. Not just spend some days there, but actually live there.
Housing prices, thanks to fucking airbnb are the highest of your country so buying a house is impossible, but even renting is nearly impossible because nobody wants to rent to a local when they can earn 3x or more by scamming tourists.
Want to work here? You either work in services (bars, restaurants, or other kind of touristic slavery) or need to look for work out of the city. You might be lucky enough to work in something that’s not tourism related, but it’s pure luck to find one.
The city centre? Yeah… Don’t go there, you’re not gonna find other than a tourist theme park. Tons of shops created exclusively with the tourist in mind and don’t you dare trying to look for something to eat. All you’ll find are tourist traps.
I’ve seen this city become the shithole it is today thanks to tourism.

If it wasn’t for tourists I would have nobody to sell Quokka eggs to.
this is the truth right here
Yeah, but blame capitalism not tourists.
