Greedy locals and corpos are taking advantage of zero regulation, but tourists are to blame, of course.

  For sure some locals love it, cash walking into town. If you own a shop or one of the two little hotels, minting money

  Similar to recycling. Put the onus on the individual and walk away with piles of money and zero real blame.

  If you were to give the majority of the locals where I live the choice, they would get rid of every tourist here. What we do have is councils and business owners trying to make more money, though whether they're "greedy" or not is debatable. Tourists are absolutely to blame. Nobody is holding a gun to their heads to come here. They know it's overcrowded, they know they're a nuisance, they have no respect for people trying to actually _live_ here, and yet they still come, in their hordes.

And that's of course tourists fault. > Tourists are absolutely to blame. Nobody is holding a gun to their heads to come here.

Have you ever thought that maybe your place attracts wrong crowd?
