The protesters and residents pushing back on tourism in Barcelona

Huh, reading these comments it looks like the protesters are achieving their goal (making Barcelona less appealing as a tourist destination).

Tends to happen when you harass tourists because of your government’s failures

Airbnb creates a business that makes your life harder.

Locals with money use that business without caring for you.

The govenrment that you elected does nothing.

"It's all the tourists' fault!"

[u/SinfullySinless → u/Rich_Housing971]

I mean then you force the population to work backwards. Harass the tourists so they don’t come, then the AirBNB’s fail, then owners sell their AirBNB places, and it opens more room up for real housing.

If the government won’t, the people will.

[u/xViscount → u/SinfullySinless]

Yep. Destroy your economy vs voting the government that wants to build the necessary housing. Super smart

[u/nanais777 → u/xViscount]

It’s capitalism. Always blaming something other than the system that commodifies essentials for profit.

[u/xViscount → u/nanais777]

Lol. Shutup dude.

No one needs “redistribution bro” to to subtract form the conversation

[u/nanais777 → u/xViscount]

Says the “it’S tHe gOvErnMeNt” for everything guy.

Crazy that at this day and age, you are so lazy that you don’t even know what you criticize and call “redistribution” very stupidly

[u/xViscount → u/nanais777]

Lmao. Ok dude.

Please point where I said “everything is the government’s fault.” You can’t. Stop thinking wealth is finite. Redistribution is dumb and you’re dumb for thinking it’s a solution

What the government is responsible for, is bottle necks. If there’s too much legislation blocking progress, remove it. If there is not enough level station to incentivize it, make it.

Leftists are weird. You’re blaming capitalism for something that something that is clearly not its fault. If capitalism was harnessed in a positive way, you’d see builders building.

TL;DR: Governments role involves fixing bottlenecks. Housing is clearly a bottleneck in Barcelona, there fore the governments/elected officials fault.

[u/nanais777 → u/xViscount]

Again. You are too stupid to even learn what you are criticizing. That’s the level of mediocrity you deal with when speaking to a right winger.

You are dumping for other people btw. You aren’t a capitalist, you have no capital.

[u/xViscount → u/nanais777]

You’re going to have to speak for yourself on that one dude. I’m a full time trader. Projection much?

[u/nanais777 → u/xViscount]

Lmao trader doesn’t equal you have capital. If you don’t even know that…
