The anti-growth state of mind on the Åland islands

In the baltic sea, between Finland and Sverige there is a group of islands that are beautiful but have an anti-growth mindset.

If we would have passed, we would of course have paid the regular ferry prices, have made several stops along the way in different shops, buying ice cream and eating lunch and probably a dinner as well. It's just plain bad for the people living on Åland due to the less tourism it brings because of this and you can clearly notice it while travelling there since barely anything is open for business. It's almost impossible to get a table there sometimes and they must bring in loads of cash, which I was very happy about when living there since I get to eat delicious crêpes and they help fund my healthcare and other services on the island.
