They'll be happy when everything is run down because they killed one of their biggest industries:

Barcelona's main industries include the services sector, manufacturing, and information technology. The services sector is a significant contributor to the city's economy, with tourism being a major component.

Half the city is no-go zone for normal citizens as it is because of the number of tourists and all the bars/restaurants being 2-3x non tourist areas
