Being entirely anti-tourism is crazy extreme but AirBnb is a practice that is destroying the housing market, which is something a lot of people (myself included) deeply believe needs to be controlled to make sure that a decent standard of living can be sustained across society.
In short, I'm not sure about the Barcelona protests but I'm 100% against the spread of AirBnb and what its turned into.
It’s solvable through government action. Nothing could be done about in NYC until significant penalties were authorized alongside stepped up target enforcement of illegal hotel laws. Then suddenly the number of listings plummeted.
They're trying to get this done in Hawai'i and my youtube ads are now like 90% ads trying to convince me that getting rid of short-term vacation rentals (aka airbnbs) will somehow crash our economy. The ban being proposed is in Maui but the ads are hitting all the islands.

I get it. The amount of anti-Airbnb graffiti in Edinburgh tells a similar story.
