What's the best (non-criminal) way to completely destroy the tourism sector in my home town. - lemm.ee

I live in a small town which is disproportionately popular with tourists. Because of this, people are hoarding property to rent out on Airbnb. I want to buy a house but will never be able to afford it unless the market is flooded with properties. Again I’m not looking for anything illegal just some propaganda tricks to keep the tourists away for a year or two.

“Because I can’t buy a house I want to attack my community’s economy” is a pretty terrible sell. Especially when that would not suddenly solve your housing issues.

This is a small town. Not a major city where out of town firms are buying up whole blocks, i take it. This would not generate the desired results.

I think it's safe to assume that OP is venting frustration.

But you know what? If you used this kind of energy to attack the monied interstate that are bleeding is all dry, instead of the frustrated not to no normal person who doesn't want to keep paying someone else's inflated mortgage, maybe things would get better.

I actually was involved in the fresh round of restrictions that went in to place in my city over short term rentals. They created a lottery system that allows only one house per block to be a short term rental. It was previously a free-for-all.

Is that enough energy for you?
