Its funny how the blame is on tourists who have to pay exorbitant amounts but not the owners of the property. Its almost like the exploitation of people whether tourists or locals is just the divine nature of our world so it must be the fault of tourists (or immigrants in other places) and never the owning class
In places like south Spain and Greece the "tourist" have outbid the locals and are the owning class.
It's not like they're hating on backpackers living in local hostels. It's hating on the people pricing them out of their own cities. And then renting it out as an Airbnb in the "off season" for 10x the local rent.
There's even a television show dedicated to this new colonialism https://www.aplaceinthesun.com/
