So... you just ignored everything I said, right? I'm looking at my town:

  • highways - planned by central government
  • airports - managed centrally
  • railway for cargo - planned by central government
  • environmental rules - decided centrally
  • energy infrastructure - planned centrally
  • economic incentives for industry - planned centrally
  • internet backbone - build by central government
  • water management - financed centrally

The central government financed big passenger airport and high speed passenger train that bring tourists but the energy grid is at it limits not allowing for big investments, there are no cargo trains and no economic incentives to bring industry here. But yes, the town will simply decide to build chemical plants and still mills and it will magically work... The only option given by central government was tourism so of course they build the economy based on that. And yes, now they can control it with entry tax and limiting licenses for hotels but that's exactly what this post is complaining about. People want less tourist so they complain and expect the local government to do something. It's not like people loved tourists 20 years ago and now they changed their minds. They tolerated it for as long as they could and are now getting tired.
