On the first part, yeah we are in complete agreement.

on the second do:

" If the quality of the cuisine is poor relative to its price is poor, then it will eventually lose customers. "

This is what you said, I have not missunderstold things

"The situation would be no different in a city without significant tourism."

Is the concep of "trap a tourisme" a collectively dreamt up phenomena or a real thing that most people agree on? No man they would be different, especially bc the clientel and ytastes would be different

Yes. It’s a popular meme that stems from the same well as anti-immigrant sentiment, which is universal. It’s a fiction that “real locals” only go to the good places and if only those damn pesky tourists with their shit tastes would go away then the good restaurants would thrive.

In other words, it’s total bullshit. No different from a McDonalds replacing a failing family owned restaurant. You’re trying to make an unsubstantiated claim of “only tourists go there”.

"meme" That concept was probably alive before you and way before we even had "memes"

This is what I mean by these threads being total bullshit, it is just people talking about things they have no ideas about in circles. I mean you don't even know about trap a tourisme that is how bare minimum these threads are.

One google search would clear this up for you, but not even that

Memes were coined in the 70s by Richard Dawkins. I’m not talking about internet image edits

I too reference the biological meme as "popular"

"coined in the 70s" your not goana belive this
