You'd swear all the habitual properties here are all in pristine condition the way they go on. The multitudes here can barely make ends meet. It's either this or people finish on the side of the road. Wages are so far separated from the cost of living that very soon the wealthy tourists will find that there are a shortage of workers to tend to them while they enjoy their sunshine.
