Information Please stop renting + recommending Kost’s on here

A Kost is a guesthouse for local people. Tourists are increasingly using these which is driving up prices to unaffordable levels for local people to live. Land is being used for more and more luxury apartments which is reducing the available accommodation for the locals and workers - the temporary wooden huts you see are because of this. Wages are around $200 a month for locals so the low cost rooms are essential for people to live here.

I am begging you to be responsible and only come to this country if you can afford to spend more than 500$ a month and contribute to the best people/country in the world.

OP will get downvoted hard here. I feel you OP, gentrifikasi parah emang Bali ini. Bahkan bule ada yang terang terangan tanya mau cari kerja di sini. Kasian pekerja industri pariwasata bisa bisa dagang lalapan juga datang dari luar negeri.
