I'm sorry tourists own all your local businesses and keep raising prices on themselves and you. Do the tourists also control your local government so you can't build more, denser housing and better transit?

Napal, Tibet, Tajikistan all limit tourists severely. Meanwhile I buy breakfast in Hanoi from between <1USD and 15 depending if I go to a place that serves locals or tourists. In places where there's competition, I can pay like 2-10USD a night for a bunk to an entire apartment. In places where the local capitalists use the local government to increase their profits at the expense of the workers, I generally avoid because fuck that.

So force the ones profiting to increase supply, failing that, have the government build it themselves. China proves you don't need to let a handful of companies artificially restrict the housing supply and food prices.

Everyone would do something else if there were no profits in what they were doing. If there were no profits in being a farmer then someone would be a plumber and if there were no profits in that then they would do something else. I think it mostly goes without saying that people want to earn money when they have bills to pay and they will do what earns them money

This comment sounds stupid and that's because it's replying to something stupid
