I was living in a touristic area.

Guess what was happening, local politicians were treating long term residents as trash in the face of big hotels/apartments who had loads of money.

Fun part was that those apartments/hotels wouldn’t hire locals but rather people who would drive like 20-30 km away.

Bad deal all way round for locals but of course local government people would pocket their share one way or the other if not from outright bribery.

You live in a touristy area because you have a tourism-related job, right?

Because where are the tourists supposed to stay if there's no hotels?

There is never shortage of hotels. They pop up is actual econony supports it. No reason to take bribes

		For anyone who was poor in that area it was better to move out.

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.

Ok so your childhood home became more touristy and you're trying to blame somebody for that. I don't think that works though.

Well 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.

You need to take a break from the keyboard. You're being an asshole.

Sorry but the hotels didn't do anything wrong. If I'm an asshole for pointing that our, I can live with that.
