Free movement is a right in the EU BTW
Deezer/Jump/OFO/Mobike/DonkeyRepublic bikes everywhere, now they even started using electric scooters, parking them in front of monuments, in the middle of the already small sidewalks, on the road (??!)
You can't go to museum/parks/monuments/local biergarten.
Public transports can't keep up. Even worst, roads can't keep up (uber + car2go + taxis everywhere)
Half of the flats in touristic areas are aribnbs, artificially increasing local prices + kicking local people out.
Artificially increases restaurants / bars prices.
I don't even get how tourists are having fun, it's literally like queuing in Disneyland to see/do the most basic things and take the same pictures as everyone else. I saw hundreds of people queueing for 2+ hours for a famous burger / kebab place, if that's what you consider "fun" and "freedom" ...
> how come you think free movement is a privilege
Never said that. Now that people can buy a Paris<>Berlin tickets for the price of a restaurant they go enjoy their mindless 3 days of paradise, wreak havoc on the locals, and move to their next destination. It's just like freedom of speech, when abused it starts to get nasty.

No, just informed and non destructive tourism. The number of tourists coming to berlin, for example, doubled in 10 years, the infrastructure almost didn't change in the same time. 3.5 million inhabitants, 14[0] millions annual tourists. Every single month of the year: 40%+ of the population is made of tourists.

Instead of shaking your fist at airplanes flying overhead, maybe try increasing the hotel tax and cracking down on AirBnBs.
Of course, you'll probably encounter opposition to this because some locals are making a great deal of profit.
Planes were hijacked all the time, and back then they weren't nearly as many planes as now. [0]
> so much of what made air travel fun
It's not supposed to be "fun", flying isn't a right, it's a privilege that enabled mass tourism which is an ecological and cultural plague. People take easyjet/ryanair like they take their cars to go grocery shopping, Berlin, Paris, Rome, &c. are now hell on earth.
