I live in a small town which is disproportionately popular with tourists. Because of this, people are hoarding property to rent out on Airbnb. I want to buy a house but will never be able to afford it unless the market is flooded with properties.
Again I'm not looking for anything illegal just some propaganda tricks to keep the tourists away for a year or two.
Might be a bit of a stretch, but start a paper mill company! They make a whole town smell REALLY REALLY BAD. During my childhood there was one in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, and it was not a tourist destination at all. Then the paper mill closed and suddenly it WAS a tourist destination.
Also, does Lemmy have an Unethical Pro Life Tips community yet? This question would be perfect there. Also also, don't rule out criminality so quick!
Doesn't work. Live in a paper mill town and we get tourists like crazy and my house has tripled in value in the last 5 years.
Also consider a tannery!
