Don't know that op means but I can relate. Not long ago I was searching for an apartment to rent in my hometown to move closer to my workplace and I noticed that prices went crazy high compared to few years ago, so high that I can't afford them anymore. Students have demonstrated by mounting camping tents near the universities to protest the lack of affordable housing. I'm quite sure it's because owners prefer to rent to tourists than locals (higher income and no taxes, depending on the owner's compliance).

Cities like Venice lost their original character as many locals preferred to move out of the historical center to reduce the cost of living.

Other cities like Florence don't allow new bed and breakfasts to be registered, to try and control housing costs.
