This is a really deep comment, thank you for sharing. The gentrification of all of our communities for any reason, including increasing tourist-ization, is a real problem. It's not that there's anything wrong with tourism in and of itself, it's what it does to middle class, lower class, and working-class communities. Basically like you said, it's gentrification. I don't know how to stop this just yet because municipal leadership is constantly filled with people who either are from the elite and upper class or want to serve them exclusively. Look anywhere, I've never not known this to be true.
So yeah...for now it sucks. If the top 10% of incomes are the only ones that matter, what exactly are the rest of us supposed to do? Well don't ask your local mayor because he doesn't have an answer and he's not trying to get one.
Something needs to be done. As to what, I don't know yet. These are the same people who keep getting elected so I mean, it's a very sticky problem.
