Adding infrastructure adds cost. If you’re adding improvements for added housing, you upgrade internet, sewage, health and safety, replacing old building membranes that eventually break down, hospitals, community centres, libraries, parks, routes for delivery access, this does cost. This is stuff that does benefit the locals. And it’s not only paid for by the locals.
And yet, taxes, cost of living, housing prices, rent also goes up. The one thing that doesn’t is pay. To which the locals have to move to outlying areas and commute.
And as I’ve been rudely corrected before: housing is not connected to the facilities and is an entire industry of its own.
Which, and I’m with you on this: personally I don’t think it should be.
It should be considered part and parcel of the same package that is supplying the sewage system and garbage collecting.
Cuz one requires and is entirely reliant on the other.
just shows that the system is meant to fail as it is serving the capitalists. Not the clients.
Anyways, it’s still a digression from the point that the tourists aren’t necessarily the same evil when they are just supplying means that could just as well be used to improve the area. They are just being used by capitalists as the locals are. They aren’t the enemy here. You’re just being tricked into displacing your hate for the capitalists to the other person being played in the same puzzle. Like how a server at the restaurant displaces their hate for the underpaying, selfish, manager onto the paying customer.
Customer didnt set the rules. They didn’t set the paycheck. It’s just easier to pacify the self by targetting them and stay in the same problem than do anything that could actually change the situation. And the manager couldn’t be happier to not be the target while happily benefitting off of everyone else’s back.
