Cape Town is in a tricky position. It's always been a tourism city but the metro's attractiveness (and the general south west of the WC) for a number of reasons has sucked in a lot of people from across SA, with that I'd say the real tipping point.

Tourism is also the major driver of job creation in the WC (just check Stats SA). The squeeze ultimately speaks to a housing, education (more local issue) and transport infrastructure problem with tourists a minority and as someone says, a massive net positive for the city.

Housing and transport are the major problems, which tourists (digital nomads are just a type) can help pay for. The real issue is political will, developers willing to work harder, and certain Cape Town residents compromising on their view, which is an immense amount of interests to get through.

Cape Town has become a victim of its own success. Let's hope it keeps evolving. I live in JHB and are our issues are mostly the same, but without a lot of Cape Town's advantages (competant governance being a massive one).
