I think they said that they specifically don’t want to tank the local economy, just the tourism sector.
A large tourism sector can be a detriment to a smaller city or town if the local people don’t have enough control or investment in the sector themselves.
It’s definitely good to organize, but if they are in the US, building publicly housing (an obvious solution) is illegal, so things aren’t straightforward even if you obtain some power.
One guy was so paranoid that he had a camera in his yard (out in a well-off suburban neighborhood) pointing at a public path that strobed and vocally warned you that you were being recorded. Totally unhinged
