Why should I or you care if your elected officials make a solution I don’t like? I’m not a citizen of Portugal, not a resident and an only occasional visitor. If the government massively decreases the supply of tourist accommodations in favor of residents, then I’ll just see that it’s a bit too expensive and possibly visit somewhere else. Exactly like the regulation of capitalism should work.

Not sure what kind of empathy you are looking for. How could I possibly solve your problems? Only when you take responsibility, as the only people in the world with a vote, can you change the situation.
