When I went to Barcelona for a few days, the amount of animosity I faced was pretty daunting. I’d have to keep EXTREMELY vigilant especially in certain areas. Spoke to an uber driver about it and the result of the conversation was that they don’t want tourists to buy everything up and leave. But I noticed that the way they speak about it makes it sound like it’s singular to their city. Part of the discussion was me explaining how the exact same thing is happening in my city. Yet I don’t think that Miami is as hostile towards tourism.

Ultimately, if the issue is that foreigners buy up all the land and properties, leaving not much available to the citizens, then it’s an issue with the government allowing the sale to non-citizen/residents of the country.

Quebec cracked down on Airbnb, only in Primary Residences during summer and in designated zones. No reason the Spanish government can't do something similiar. Point your water guns at the politicians.

What’s he supposed to do, hide out in a hotel bar? It’s unfair to be blaming tourists, blame the politicians who make the decisions.
