To detest people that think they own beautiful parts of the world?

Don't go to the seaside exactly. We went to a lovely church in Devon and the people kind of understood we might want to move there. They were very positive and shared that they prefer people who move there and to put roots down the community, just as you want , poster, and rather not buy homes in bulk and rent them out

well by local I meant someone who lives and works in an area - born there or elsewhere 😊

Is it really a privilege, though? You have mentioned low incomes in your area. It's a privilege if you are moneyed, but if you have to do multiple jobs and never get to enjoy it, it isn't quite the privilege that it seems to those who move for the beauty.

When you actually live as a local and not as an incomer with independent wealth, it's actually bloody hard. It can be rather insulting to hear how 'lucky' you are when you never see your beauty spot in the summer.

Not all incomers are wealthy, of course. I wasn't in the beauty spot I lived in before, and I am not now in the somewhat rundown seaside town I live in now. It might be why I have more local sympathy, though I do object to the idea that you have to live somewhere for generations to be 'local'.

A lot of people who moved to where I lived before were starting to complain about the things that went hand in hand with the beauty. They didn't bother to learn about the reality of actually living there, and the truth was, the moneyed people didn't actually really live that reality. And that was a problem for the proper locals. Incomers complaining about the fact that the beauty spot actually needed some messy bits to function.

How about in the industrial revolution? I don't think everyone stayed put in the countryside then.

We have an abbatoir at the edge of our village, we'll signposted so you can't miss it. New couple moved up from down South and started complaining about the smell from the wagons coming out of the abbatoir ie raw meat smell. The same couple swaned around as if they were doing us a favour moving into the village and bestowing their largesse on us. They didn't interact with any community events or fundraising etc and then started bitching that the village was unwelcoming. Villages survive through community relationships and these 2 refused to join in but then couldn't understand why we weren't fawning all over them in the pub.
OP you sound exactly like them.
FYI we were newcomers 18 years ago but having a good understanding of what rural life involves, and getting stuck in to community events plus making an effort to get to know people, we were welcomed and are happy and settled.
Oh we also weren't rich outsiders who contribute to rising house prices.

But maybe people born there feel their wealth is their being born somewhere beautiful like a rich person is born with access to money. And yes, you can ask the state to step in regarding money if you lose it all. It's social welfare.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'ascertaining'.

Everywhere needs proper oversight of planning, and in some countries that includes not only the physical but also social environment. In Singapore, foreigners pay massive tax on property and cars unlike the locals, most nation states prioritise their civilian population over others. this is just happening at a more local level - and even then, some form of prioritising locals happens in plenty of places - for example, planning permission for new build houses is only given to people who have demonstrated local links in certain parts of Ireland and so on.

You sound terribly angry and disrespectful of the local community as you seem completely unable to understand their perspective.

@Bumpitybumper @Autumnalfun people have always moved much further afield to find work, particularly when industries collapsed, but not to find cheap housing. They might have bought a first home in a village down the way, but not a whole other county.

A local is someone who lives there. It isn’t necessarily someone born there.

I never said there shouldn’t be any holiday lets- I said it needs to be regulated so the numbers of holiday lets are sustainable, not removing too much housing stock and is assessed for its impacts on residents. That way tourists can still visit, tourists have safe accommodation which meets their needs, towns get tourism and jobs for locals, there’s still somewhere for locals to live 😊

I ve never know a place yet thay can’t staff these jobs.

Doesn't this mean that house prices will collapse in the end because no businesses or services will be able to operate due to lack of staff?

You need to brush up on your history. Moving for work or affordable housing has gone on for well over a century,

It's on trend to do this, not just UK beauty spots but around Europe. Attitudes across Europe are becoming a different place to it has been.

Absolute crap! Until house prices went through the roof, people could remain where they had grown up, even in tourist hotspots.

Yes I could have typed a much longer list but I think (I hope) everyone got the idea!

If there isn't affordable housing, who do you think is going to be working in the shops and bars and cafes and attractions that the tourists use?

Why is it all/only 'tons of Londoners'? Do people from other parts of the UK not come on holiday?

I use booking.com I don't like air bnb but whatever way people do it lots of people want to stay in a cottage etc. Licensed or not this still removes houses from the housing market. But as I said in a previous post, and as many other posters have pointed out, the vendors could make sure their house is sold to a family from the local area. But they don't, they sell to the highest bidder.
My husband comes from an area where there's a lot of tourism, there's no other industry there, factories etc have closed and there simply isn't the infrastructure for other industries to open. The roads are too small etc so there are no jobs, so many people of working age have moved away. If there was no tourism there would be nothing there.

Yes, quite. Once you start making rules/putting people into categories, things get very tricky very fast.

You sound like exactly the why "they" resent entitled incomers.

I think the main problem is that the local council aren't managing the tourism very well and they put the locals second. I see it all the time where I live and the little inconveniences such as taking over car parks for tourist buses or people who only shop at big supermarkets and don't spend money at local businesses make these hostilities add up over time. It's very frustrating.

I think the affordable housing aimed at locals is so that people that actually physically work in the area (builders, hospitality staff, cleaners, nurses, supermarket staff) can afford to buy homes where they work. I live in a tourist area and I’ve heard a lot of comments about airbnbs and second home owners but we have loads of “locals” that never grew up in the area that are liked and respected.

Because obviously the property goes to whoever has the most money.

It's also an area in which a minority language is spoken, and trying to be preserved. And most of these outsiders are speaking English.
