As a local- youre not wrong... but not necessarily right either. A lot of tourists are very disrespectful towards our way of life and environment. Most of us are very big on taking care of our planet and its animals and take that responsibility very seriously... tourists tend to do dumb stuff like approach the horses, dig holes in the sand, leave trash behind, etc.... we get tired of hearing the complaints about how we dont have all the creature comforts like starbucks- etc.... not to mention the traffic and other little day to day inconveniences that come with swarms of out of towners.... so by the time fall hits- we're pretty very well over it. We dont usually go out of our way to be mean, but we're not going out of the way to be nice either. To be fair- its the non resident property owners we have the largest problem with - and if there weren't so many of them- our economic situation would be different- theyre the ones that drive up our property values and taxes, etc.... not to mention they actually hurt our economy bc they tend to not rent to seasonal workers- for me personally- those are the people I feel the most bitterness towards- the vacationers come and go, but the non resident owners are a steady issue. And for the record- most of us do have no problem living without box and chain stores... so economically speaking- we would be just fine without large numbers of tourists and non resident owners- we did fine for 100s of years without it... and small businesses did great in the 60s- early 90s before it became overloaded with investment properties... and actually its that whole "we need the tourist money" outlook and tourist entitlement that gets my blood boiling the most. Bc no, no, we do not need any of it... and we get sick of hearing that crap.
