    It kinda is though, people who buy holiday homes are directly responsible for pushing up the price to the point that local people can no longer afford to live there. Then they don’t even live in those holiday homes so the local economy is fucked. Why hire any workers for 9 months of the year when your customers are only there for 3 months of the year?

    Tourists may benefit some local business owners (or chains) while having a negative impact on many others.

    Take a small fishing or farming village for example, now it becomes popular with tourists. House prices shoot up to what Londoners can afford and as they only use it as a holiday home it becomes a ghost town in winter.

    Not just broom closets that lack space. Both of my pans are cast iron which cant go in the dish washer. So what, am I going to get like 40 plates and sets of cutlery because that is all I would use that can go in there? Going by the floor plan of my house when I bought it the kitchen is about 5m², where is all of this stuff going to live now that I also lose most of the cupboard space for the dish washer? Already got a washing machine using up a lot of space. Bungalow, about 60m² for the entire place.




  • Would the order of things when its serial matter? Since moving our shower is the first thing to get hot water and the kitchen comes after, not really noticed it as too much of an issue although the kitchen tap will be slower when water is being used somewhere else. Which is probably the better way of prioritising it.


  • Oddly we found it happened most when we used an electric shower. Which heats its own water because only uses cold water. How the fuck that was the most effected I have no idea.

    Moved across town and now got a heat pump that does our heating and hot water, it doesn’t really seem to care that much.
