I know a few people who live in Amsterdam and they all said basically the same thing: as it currently is, most locals don’t really go there because it’s miserable due to all the poorly behaved tourists. I’m sure that there are plenty of locals that may disagree, but it seems to be mostly an area for tourists.

Like any situation there are going to be winners and losers, but I feel that this is most likely a fairly large net positive for most residents.
