Venice tour guide said locals are being priced out by tourists. Same
thing with Florence and smaller cities which have limited housing
compared to larger cities like Rome.
Of course, the 18 million tourists per year are creating many of the
jobs for the locals so maybe without tourism many of the natives
wouldn't be able to stick around an expensive city.
They had 250 days of acqua alta last year. Many doors have little ramps
about a foot or two high in an effort to slow down flooding waters from
getting inside.

We're talking about grilled lamb or chicken in skewers? Typically here
you get a plate of rice, salad and pita and hummus here for under $10.

Yeah I just don't see the appeal of falafel and hummus.
Schwarma and gyros are fine though.
