The grand bard of Cornwall says tourism has decimated Cornish coastal communities.
A lack of affordable housing and second homes is hitting both areas and it's not just the seaside or rural villages.
Leader of Cornwall council Linda Taylor says virtual meetings are planned and housing is a priority issue.
