        I hadn’t heard about that but yes, you’re right. I think that kind of thing is vulgar.

        She has stood up for vulnerable people many times, too. Most artists look the other way and count their money.

        It was Palermo, apparently, but yes - there were complaints because of some road closures.

        Venice was Bezos.

          I feel like if a town is able to be rented out despite local opposition, it is more a sign that the people complaining about the closures need to get more involved in local politics.
