I can't stand seeing tourists in my area

Nothing personal with them, it's not their fault for ending up here, but only foreigners I want are refugees and immigrants. Maybe some international students and volunteers too, depends. Tourists just don't fit this place.

Ugh yeah. My quaint little mountain town has turned into a tourist trap over the last couple decades. It's painful to see generations of lifelong residents being priced out of the only homes they've ever known to accommodate out of state property investors.

@SwampFlower it's so bad honestly, I hate it when people say we can't have any immigrants, we're already overpopulated etc but what about overtourism?

@HannibalAteMeOut it's a real thing. We have even had to close some natural areas because over tourism was harming the environment so badly there. Fucking social media influencers would flock to some little known parks and they went viral. Now none of us can have nice things.

@SwampFlower that's why as a "townie" you have to be hostile and beat their ass from time to time. Toutist aren't so bad if you keep them in check and in their lane.
