Airbnb is Not the problem
The problem is wages have been stagnant for 40 years when inflation is added in!
The unregulated capitalism has run its course and now is taking mankind Over the cliff!
When 1% of mankind hold 50% of the Worlds wealth!!!! We have a huge problem!!
The wealthy have NEVER Started a revolution

In 2028… yeah we will see. It will be a completely different world in 2028. I don’t know what will change but something will certainly change in the meantime

Good. A city should be mainly for its residents. Not rich tourists
LuthorM on
Yes please. The city can’t afford any more single tourist/expat. It’s hell for us locals.

hope this will include the “temporary rental up to 11 months” bullsh*t, aka 80% of all listings right now.

10,000 licenses will expire and there will be 20,000 Airbnbs. The company actively encourages hosts to break local laws because they know the volume is too much for a handful of city staff to deal with.

Barcelona does not like money comming from outside of the country? What is the average spent by tourists/day?
When are the next elections in Barcelona?

Housing in general aside, but Isn’t the tourism industry a big contributor to Barcelona’s economy? The stats vary but 8% or so of GDP seems like it’ll be impactful along with 8-9% of the city’s employment if this were to drop significantly. I don’t get me wrong, I do empathize with the locals and understand the housing crunch.

Last AirBNB I booked it was a house with each room being keycode locked for each renter.
I was neighboring with a young couple and the walls were paper thin so I couldn’t get any sleep with their loud fucking every night but didn’t want sound like a grandpa and complain up in their faces about it.

Is a “tourist apartment” owned by an ex-pat living there? Or just someone who has something similar to a vacation apartment in Barcelona?

You will more likely see it becoming more expensive and more hotels going up to satisfy demand

There currently legislation in Hawaii proposing similar measures. Not all vacation rentals, but a lot.
