   Evil greed. If you are a family and are bound to school vacation dates, greedy landlords try to extract the hell out of your pocket.

   You pay between 2.5-4 times the rent for the same apartment during holiday season.

   This chart is now publicly visible for everyone on many tourism websites. I hope it will have an impact. For me it already does - I rather stay home than pump my money into some greedy mf’s ass.

   What do you think how long it will take until I have to remove this chart out of protest by the landlords?

     @louis This is basically the allocation of scarce resources problem. Say you have ten rooms. Off season, 8 people want them, no problem. In the high season, 20 people want them. How do you (collectively) decide who gets each?
     Capitalism says "let the price rise until only 10 people are prepared to pay". It's not a great procedure but it reliably gives you an answer.

     @louis Is this a real graph? It looks like someone drew a church.
