Will Venice become deserted?

As we know, the beautiful city of Venice is sinking year by year. Predictions say that it will totally be underwater in less than 100 years. However, new predictions have come out that establish that the entire permanent population may cease to exist by 2030.

There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that life has become really expensive. The tourists are still there, but the problem is that not even half of the daily tourist population sleeps in Venetian hotels. They just go during the day and have a picnic, which leads to the tourists not spending a single euro in the city.

As time has passed, the economic difficulties have taken residents to pay more and more each time for all of their daily items, like food and water. The "tourist" and "local" prices have even become the same due to said problems.

As we can see, the future is not looking very bright for this legendary and beautiful city, pillar of the Italian economy and a very important part of the tourist side of Europe, so what do you think the government should do to preserve it?
