Talk:Ghost town

Other Uses of "Ghost town"
The common usage of ghost town refers to a now-abandoned place that was once populated...arguments over remaining infrastructure (and even remaining occupants) ensue. But this is the most common definition.

But the term can also be applied to populated places that see fluctuation in the number of inhabitants with the seasons. Namely "tourist towns": "Though crowded in the summer, this seaside village becomes a ghost town in the colder months."

It can also be used to refer to a populated place that seems more desolate than anticipated: "Though the city had a population of over a million residents, hardly a soul could be seen downtown that afternoon; the extreme heat had turned the place into a ghost town."

Though these are less common usages, they still apply. Should the article reflect this? 71.226.227.121 (talk) 09:31, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * No it should not. Every single word in every single language is used as a metaphor some times, and that's what people are doing here with the term ghost town. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 07:41, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
