An Italian holiday may be a priceless experience for those who have enjoyed all this country has to offer. But the summer of 2023 will go down as one of the priciest in history after a slew of price gouging scandals at cafes and restaurants that have affected foreign tourists and Italians alike.

    I’m with you. I know it’s unpopular but fuck. I know so many people that espouse a green philosophy but won’t bat an eyelash at multiple intercontinental flights a year. And especially with the rise of air bnb tourism is just wreaking these places. Where I king, you’d get one travel pass in you twenties and another in your sixties.

      Im on the fence with this. If i were king i feel like 1 a year could be fine. But that would mean rich people would also have to follow that. If you cut down on those ridiculous daily 5 minute private jet flights it wouldnt be the massive problem it is now.

      Airbnb is a different subject. Shouldnt exist imo

        Short-term house/apartment rentals are great. AirBNB specifically is shit.

        If your issue is that the housing could be used to house locals, that’s an issue with a shortage of housing, not AirBNB.

        List?

        A list of things idiots say?

        Why not, you know, looked up a survey or something that tells you what it’s really like instead of what heavily downvotes people say on social media?

        Do you think there’d be no difference?
