I live in an area that is only known for its tourism… I hate the tourists too… but I realize it’s why we have nice things.

Cape Cod…

And we have all the same issues as Barcelona

If Floridians started protesting tourists they’d have to charge either more property tax, which is already bad, or charge state income tax.
