On one hand, biting that hand that feeds
On the other, I’ve lived in buildings with AirBnBs and they’re a scourge. The owners and renters of short term rental properties are mostly (not all) awful - residents should be owning property, not spoiled rich landlords eating up space for tourists. Fuck AirBnB.
I also visited Spain last month and I’ve never felt so unwelcomed in my life while in Barcelona and would never go back, so I guess the anti-tourism is working 😂
Barcelona has 12 tourists per capita per year. They could easily do with a half of that.
Barcelona is a diverse economic engine; it’s not a tourism monocrop town. It doesn’t need your patronage.
Lmfao whatever you say, my man
Edit: oh I get it now, you’re a tankie
I mean that goes for pretty much every major city, even the touristy ones.
Did you think I wouldn’t notice you creating alt account dvb@lemmy.world today for the express purpose of following me around and downvoting? I guess I really hit a nerve. How embarrassingly petty.
I can understand that locals are revolting around the world. The amount of tourism exploded in the last decades. The way tourists are behaving all around doesn’t help.
