Most who have lived here for a long time can't afford to live here anymore.
Many of us refer to this phenomenon as "Jackson Holing". If you look at the transition of the town of Jackson Hole, WY from a sleepy little ski town to the overpriced tourist trap that it is. Californiacation.
The end result is that a tourism boom sweeps through these little towns, trashes a lot of sensitive land, jacks up the tax rates and leaves a depressed shithole behind if it doesn't endure as a booming tourist trap.
Meanwhile, all the wildlife everybody wants to see are in big trouble due to loss of habitat.
