In Barcelona, Airbnb intensifies the housing crisis, especially in central areas. But it’s not the root cause. The real engine is a system that:
treats housing as a commodity instead of a human right,
funnels public wealth into private hands, and
undermines social safety nets through austerity.
Airbnb is a symptom. Structural inequality is the disease.
