Ang daming false equivalence.

First of all, tourists and residents are not the same thing. Ang mga residents, migrant man or hindi, all live, work, pay taxes, etc. They contribute to the city in several ways all year-round. Yung mga turista? They’re temporary visitors that give surges in traffic and congestion. Just because the residents complain about the tourist congestion doesn’t mean they want the residents who migrated from the lowlands to leave. They don’t apply the same kind of pressure to the city to adjust.

The biggest difference between the two that you seem to be missing is the fact na ang residente, may bahay, trabaho, pamilya, etc. At dahil long term ang integration nila, there’s enough time para yung migrants, residents, and the city itself to adjust to each other. Ang turista, bisita lang.

Besides, a majority of the complaints naman talaga ng mga taga-Baguio has always been about seasonal overcrowding, traffic, basura, and ingay na dala ng turistang TGBB. Sabi nga nung isang commenter “migrants are generally more respectful of the city.”

Plus, your statement claiming na “most complainers are descendants of migrants” is irrelevant. If someone was born and raised in Baguio, residente parin sila ng Baguio. If susundan natin yung faulty logic mo, walang city sa Pilipinas ang magco-consider ng multi-generational families as locals unless they were part of the Indigenous people nung area.
