those are hubs tbh

america pretty swagless since basic b**** white christianity is it's core. america also never really took taking care of yourself or looking good seriously.

feel like most style and swag cause from confidence and some culture, and a lot of americans lack that

Whenever ya speak on America and fashion I just assume you mean white middle america. Because there is no way you think Black Americans don’t take “taking care of yourself or looking good seriously”.

Never said that but I’m sure if you looked at the average broke nigga in Europe they would be wearing something similar or whatever is the equivalent. But what Black Americans don’t lack is confidence and culture. Some MFs just aren’t in tune with fashion like that.

For it being a pretty artful city i was surprised to see the lack of unique style out there – no one really dressed bad but rather everyone rocking similar stuff. Lots of linen when i went, breezy silhouettes, etc

All the people you saw in Venice are tourists

The local community almost doesn’t even exist anymore

Is there more you can say on this and/or do you have any reading/videos on this?

The city is just too expensive for people with regular incomes and the whole city is pretty much flooded with tourists so it becomes unbearable I guess.
Since the 1950’s 2/3 of the population have left.

For example normally you can get an espresso for €1 in Italy, in Venice you pay €12, not everywhere probably but at the San Marco square that’s the price.

There is a great book on this topic if you really want to get into the problem and the paradox of tourism by my fellow Dutch man Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer. Venice is a big theme in that book. The book is called Grand Hotel Europa and recently got translated into English I believe.

I'm definitely check out that book, thank you

And everything you said makes sense, just got me wondering how the city can support all that traffic if so many of the residents have left and it takes more than you can make from service industries to live there

I’m not sure how they do that. But I do know that a percentage of people working in Venice come from the ‘neighbouring’ city’s and don’t live there.

For young people living in Venice there aren’t a lot of economic opportunities. Tourism is pretty much the only thing you can get a job in and that probably doesn’t pay that well.
The young people usually move to the mainland to pursue their careers.

Now I’m curious as well what the percentage is of native Venetians and people who moved there that currently live in the city.
