People are having to live in caravans because they can't afford to buy homes in Welsh tourist hotspots.
It comes as the Welsh Government is set to announce new measures to tackle the growing number of second homes.
The Pembrokeshire village of Solva has been highlighted as around 75% of properties are either second homes or holiday lets.

Rachel Lewis, 25, who was born and brought up in the village told Sky News that she has to live in a static caravan because she's priced out of renting or buying there.
"It's just frustrating more than anything," she told the news channel. "There's so many of us in the same situation, so many of my friends either having to move areas to get on housing ladder or also living in some form of temporary accommodation, yurts, caravans around the area.
"And it's just really frustrating to feel like we've come back and we want to support the economy and hopefully build families and so on, and it's just not possible for us for at this time because second-home owners are pricing us out."
Part of Wales will become a pilot area for new measures such as changes to tax and planning rules in a bid to tackle Wales' second homes crisis.
The Welsh Government is due to outline plans on Tuesday (July 6) with a decision on an area to trial the new measures before they are potentially rolled out across the whole country. More details are here.
Josh Phillips, landlord at the Harbour Inn in Solva, told Sky News: "Wales isn't a theme park - people genuinely live here - this is where our lives are.
"We're not a tourist attraction to be gawped at and it's becoming increasingly difficult for young people to stay locally and live in those communities that their parents lived in."
He said that the village is like a ghost town in the winter, when the majority of homes are empty.
"We're sort of selling our soul in some ways and losing our traditions, history and people which is sad to see - especially for youngers trying to get on the housing market - its nigh on impossible," he said.
"It's almost like people in Pembrokeshire are too poor to live in Pembrokeshire."
