Getting gouged is all part of the experience in tourist hot spots, but some Italy seems to be taking it to audacious new levels amid complaints Italians can no longer afford vacations at home.

An Italian holiday may be a priceless experience for those who have enjoyed all this country has to offer. But the summer of 2023 will go down as one of the priciest in history after a slew of price gouging scandals at cafes and restaurants that have affected foreign tourists and Italians alike.

    Im on the fence with this. If i were king i feel like 1 a year could be fine. But that would mean rich people would also have to follow that. If you cut down on those ridiculous daily 5 minute private jet flights it wouldnt be the massive problem it is now.

    Airbnb is a different subject. Shouldnt exist imo

      Short-term house/apartment rentals are great. AirBNB specifically is shit.

      If your issue is that the housing could be used to house locals, that’s an issue with a shortage of housing, not AirBNB.
