That’s an interesting phrase, Bonnie. The town ‘getting richer’. I certainly hope the people of this town are doing better than they were 40 years ago, and a big part of that is due to us foreigners. ‘Rich’ is such a complex word and one must be careful how they use it, wouldn’t you agree? Don’t you want to see your neighbours and friends here doing well?

Perhaps it's fair to say that the presence of foreigners with means has driven the cost of rental housing up considerably. Not exactly gentrification, but you get the idea.
