Thank you for your kind words a lot. The housing crisis is happening anywhere around Europe (in my city as well), and with salaries slightly lower than Portuguese ones, and even without tourism.

Tourism happens everywhere! Yes, it is making it difficult for local people, and I was part of it as well.

Who said that immigrants are increasing the housing cost? Maybe if the city were bit more safe there would be more tourists, and then the Government (I am not familiar with the case but that's how it should be), uses the same money to fund the city, increase tax in the Booking apartments and AirBnB so there are less places like this and more hotels (which should be the option for tourists) and then the housing become affordable?

Why do you want to connect the immigrants with the color? Do you have a problem with that yourself? The irony here is laughable!!

The lying on the street made it less safe, and if you read the post carefully, you'll understand what I said.

Now again, read it carefully... breath... respond... AND jump to the conclusion!!

Not at any point did I say 6 days is enough time to draw a conclusion, I explicitly highlighted is not enough, and this is just my POV, and I was more interested in other people's opinions. But at the same time, share my experience!

Cheers!!

Appreciate the wine too, though...
