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 😂
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.
One is a debilitating disease that traumatizes the whole family and usually said not wished even on the worst enemy. The other is… inconvenient contact with different cultures who came to appreciate your place and culture.

Tourism is cancer.
Tourism is annoying. Do you know what is cancer, though? Actual cancer.
Unchecked tourism is cancer that killing best historical urban locations and natural resources. Works just the same :)

They’re clearly the same, yes. /s

Educate yourself!
It was hyperbole you used, and I took issue with it because it’s badly used. Have a good day.
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.
