> especially given that digital nomads make, on average, $120,000

Minimum wage in Portugal is about €760/month, or $10,000/year. You're seriously underestimating how much $120k is.

I think you are overestimating the impact of 16,000 people in a city like Lisbon.

The median salary of a digital nomad is sure lower than $120,000. I don’t have numbers, but I would say it should be closer to $60,000. Average salary in Lisbon is also roughly $48,000.

If locals want to blame someone, perhaps investment banks eating up the available housing stock would be a better target.
