This line really brings home the bittersweet paradox of development on remote islands.

On one hand, the very isolation that makes Delft challenging for locals is the same trait that draws in tourists looking for an untouched, authentic experience.

But it's a fine line to walk, how do you preserve the serenity and heritage of a place while opening the door to the very forces that could change it forever?

I think your point about sustainable investment being both a necessity and a potential threat is something all communities like Delft will grapple with.
