Tourism Does Not Help Us

It brings money, but the glamour is a distraction

With 16 days left in the month, there will be 8 more concerts across the road from us and then comes Mariah Carey. There’s a lot going on in Manchester, but public services have clearly deteriorated.

Rent is moving up, some places become congested, yet we’re supposed to be happy about “celebrities” (like Obama who came here weeks ago).

I want a quiet, simple life. Many people want the same.

We’re becoming London in the sense that on some nights even budget hotels are like 200 pounds a night. 20 years ago even 5-star hotels cost less than 100 per night.
