The tourist hell mostly affects European cities, which at the same time are usually denser and have a more problematic transport.
In some European cities, native people can't pay the rent to live in reasonable places because tourists will pay more. This has been a problem in Spain (Barcelona & Madrid) and both municipalities are working on it, but it's difficult. At the same time, a lot of stores became tourist specific. In the end, you have two cities at the same time, the old and beautiful for tourists, and an outside city for native people, which native people who lived and worked in the old city, don't like.

Interesting, as a born and raised American, I find it odd that I keep seeing people praise europe about how great their public transportation and living wages are and yet you claim both suddenly fail when you get some tourists who spend money in your town?
- yifanl 8y agoObviously, the public transportation system was implemented based on the number of local residents. I imagine that the influx of tourists is well above that number.
- mrep 8y agoDo european cities change population sizes that little that you never really have to adapt your public transportation?
