His argument against them migrating was that there are too many migrants in Germany already and he felt his livelihood was threatened because of it. It actually makes sense from a a job security perspective (he was a cab driver). I am experiencing a similar feeling in a different setting. We bought an old house in a tiny village. Me and my wife we both love nature and moved out of the city into a forgotten place. In the oast few years this place became popular and now more and more people are buying land and building houses here. I get why they do it, i did it too. Its beautiful here. But i just dont want them here. Soon this place will be another rowded popular mountain spot. I hate to think about it. I want it to remain calm. permalink fedilink source parent
