And a large component of that explosive population growth is tourism. It is also the easiest component to curtail. Let's get on with doing that while there is still something left of our city centers. Best wishes from Lisbon.
Are the tourists really opting for the AirBNBs over hotels though?
I think it's mostly digital nomads (whatever you like to think of them they're different from just "normal tourists") occupying AirBNBs...? (With like monthly rentals and such)
