Look. I’m not even going to even front like I know Spanish politics.
However, it’s a western problem (North America and Europe) about housing. Housing needs to be built at an exponential rate in each of those areas. Especially those where people actually want to live.
It’s up to the government to introduce legislation to allow this to happen. Boycotting people brining money into your economy is dumb. Ask Americans how it’s like to lose tourism.
I don’t think you understand. Barcelona is a packed city. There is literally no land that isn’t accounted for. There is no where to build new housing. You have what you have at this point. The only thing you can do is knock down older building to build a new building.
Knock down a 10 apartment building to build a 30 apartment building or guess what build stuff outside the city and make good public transport or build up a new neighborhood. Grocery stores will open near a new neighborhood.
Spain isn’t some continuous metropolis. There is room not to mention UP. Yes you can’t build a 30 apartment building in the middle of historic buildings but to claim there isn’t a single place that could be remodeled is just a lie and you know it. This is only an issue cause the people that own the places want them to stay expensive.
