💨 Abstract

Anti-foreigner graffiti targeting digital nomads has appeared on Cape Town's Sea Point Promenade, sparking debate about the impact of remote workers on the city's housing market. Cape Town's appeal to digital nomads, due to its landscapes, culture, and affordable living, has led to increased housing costs and the conversion of long-term rentals into short-term Airbnb listings. Locals express mixed feelings, with some defending the visitors and others feeling priced out.
