As a person past and currently living in a more tourist-centric area the problem is that many tourists treat areas as if it’s a resort/amusement park where everybody is there to serve and accommodate them and that their good time on their vacation trumps the daily lives of those actually living and working there, especially those of us who have nothing to do with the service or hospitality industry.
Second, it grows old fighting crowds of leisure lovers when you’re just trying to live your normal grind knowing that while some of those schmucks money is helping your local economy, far too much is flowing right back out to non local investors and corporations. The old trickle down bullshit trying to justify why we should all tolerate being shit on and disrespected by entitled shits on holiday is tired and thin.
