[quote=JIMMYB,382225]Several days ago, Venetians held a funeral for Venice since some locals believed that their city was already dead. The population of Venice is gradually decreasing. Currently, there are 60,025 people in Venice, a long way down from the 108,300 residents in 1971. Besides, Venetians don’t live happily. The housing prices are too steep there so that many people move out of Venice. The locals think that the city doesn’t do anything for them but they do more for the tourists. As an outsider, I just thought people in Venice lived happily because tourism had brought them a lot of money. However, it seems that I am wrong. You see, the population has decreased and people are starting to leave Venice. Venice is a famous tourist attraction in Italy and thousands of foreigners come there for a visit. We may guess that people there must have earned a lot of money but the fact is different. It is no doubt that tourism can bring people a lot of money. However, why do the citizens leave their homes? Why does the population decrease? [/quote]
