When we can’t go beach or holoholo after 10 am, or go to neighborhood restaurants or cross the street without nearly being squished, it’s too much. And as always, who pays, who profits?

We all pay more for rent and people who bought houses to rent like hotels profit. No thanks. I’m happy to do all I can to make visitors trips happy. Just not destroy our neighborhoods.

Cheers Texas Towlie.
