We do live in Sedona, and usually stay around home on weekends when our town fills up with tourists. I also really like the "old town" part of nearby Cottonwood but my wife prefers Sedona and I am happy here.

I know a lot of people who make their living off of tourism, so I tend to look favorably at tourists and will often halt a hike for 5 minutes to talk with tourists on our hiking trails.
