I believe it. I am sad about. It is a form of cultural destruction.
My very poorly founded opinion is that Travelvlogs, Airbnb, TripAdvisor, and similar attacks on the obscurity of such locations coupled with the permissive treatment of housing as markets for out-of-region investment have erased livability almost everywhere.

Just already look to some destinations like Canary Islands. Where most of build area is some type of resort... Building areas for pure tourism might be wasteful, but might also be least bad option in general.
