Not really. I was just born there and it wasn’t as touristy when I was a child. It blew up as touristy place when I was a teenager and in my twenties.
My parents had odd jobs, construction, chemical processing operations. There was some small scale industry running there as well but it went bust when people wanted fresh air for tourism. Even if the industry was really small scale for marketing sake local government got rid of all of it.
I also don’t live there anymore as I wrote „I was living in a touristy area”.
If I would stay there, there was no future for me there.

- TurdF3rguson 4mo agoPointing out that it's normal for hotels to be built in touristy areas is not snarky.
- defrost 4mo ago> your childhood home became more touristy and you're trying to blame somebody for that. Do you know this person or are you just making up a narrative and writing a stranger into it?
- TurdF3rguson 4mo agoAre you following this thread at all? That's OP's description of the events. The "trying to blame somebody" is the only editorial I made, and it stems from: - OP's belief that hotel construction is connected to shadowy back-room deals with local officials - Hotels having weird discriminatory hiring practices based on minimum distance from hotel to applicant's house Yeah, it's weird. And I didn't invent it. I don't think it's snarky to point out that those beliefs are overly conspiratorial and that those things can be better attributed to basic economics. Maybe you do and that's fine because you're entitled to your opinion.
- ozim 4mo agoWell not really. I couldn’t care less. I would move out anyway. I just have seen firsthand how people who claim to be „for the local community” on the posters when it is election time — doing exactly the opposite otherwise.
