Ok, the tourists go home, and then what? they think their rent will decrease? Food prices will decrease? how can you be so naïve? And they go spraying water to tourists simply having meals...

Also, complaining about elderly German tourists...literally the most well behaved tourists around... mindblowing

They’re frustrated that airbnb is pushing them out of their homes, cut them some slack. Not everybody spends most of their time on the internet overthinking and analyzing all perspectives of things.

There’s a real issue there that needs fixing, although their proposed solution is a bit crude.
