存底：關於量販式觀光

下文是劉選手在某網對於加碼推動歐洲觀光可增加就業並提升經濟論述的反駁文。也許會被刪，所以剪下，在自己的部落格留底。 

I must say, you are wrong. Short-term stay aiming at tourists is highly detrimental to housing affordability and home loan credit availability as a financial resource, both commercial and residential. The economic consequences have spilled over and triggered societal consequences, brewing extremism among local populace. NYC is banning Airbnb. Australia is facing serious housing crisis to the extent that they have no alternative but to import highly predatory capital from another country to fund its housing projects. In Hawaii, about 40% wealth goes to top 10% of dominant group, and the bottom 50% of population receive less than 20% of wealth. You mentioned about new jobs; yes, there are, but these jobs either are often lost to cheaper migrant workers or have very limited career potential. For example, an island tourism destination, Okinawa. They need only high school dropouts to man the BBQ grill and golf caddy. A dish-washer job offers no future, and nowadays they use dish washing machines to replace human labor. Tourism in Okinawa is like a negative interest spread transaction; they have to pile up ever more debt to fund the growth of tourism. SVB's loss at the time of its collapse is 1.8 billion; with huge success in tourism, Okinawa still needs more than one SVB per year to stay financially afloat, about 2.1 billion dollars bail-out equivalence capital injected from Japan's central government. Yes, that's every year. You have praised S. Korea, but that country now has a suicide rate higher than Japan. Airbnb is now no longer a mom-n-pop room-share deal, it is now a new favorite among commercial real estate firms, done in wholesale fashion with advantages of scale of economy and legislature favor, using debt-based capital. Industrial-scale, wholesale tourism is an emerging source of socio-economic inequality in modern time. Once its volume exceeds 1.5% of GDP, it becomes self-aware. Beyond 5%, it becomes narcotic. When beyond 15%, it becomes a zombie economy.
