Tourism and the Swiss people from nearby who all come here to shop tax-free and thereby make everything more expensive and unattractive. Konstanz has degenerated into a shopping city for the wealthy. The city also suffers a lot from traffic jams all week. I've lived here for 25 years and I'll be moving too! Everything else is simply advertising or a lie!
