That island lives thanks to rich tourists. What's the plan? Turn Ibiza into a slum so that rich foreigners owning houses there sell their houses? Not collect garbage? Allow crimes to run rampant?

You could turn Ibiza into "not Ibiza", but be careful you may get what you ask for: a place without any economy anymore.

I've seen a few towns where everything shut down. Supermarket, all restaurants, gas stations closed because people working those jobs can't afford to live there at all. They even thought about bussing people in, but they had 0 takers.
Can you name those towns and the approximate times it happened? I would likevto learn more.
