omg, where shall all the tiktok hipsters stay then, when tired of their stupid spacious caravans.
I know about the guy. A great guy who has a bar in the city center since about twenty years ago. He has battled for people having fun while not being a pest to the community. He always asked people not to have glassware outside the bar. Not to talk loud after midnight. He’s gotten many fines by the local council due to patrons albeit his efforts and him being part of the local community and trying to find what to do to get along with neighbors.
Great music and live concerts. Great food also. And affordable beer.
He’s a cool dude and this “crusade” had to happen seeing how much rent is rising in Malaga. It was him because he is someone that makes things but he was just the spark. Many unrelated people have gone along because they see themselves in the same position.
Tourism is needed. But if all the housing is for tourists, then nobody can live near the places tourists go to work there and the city becomes an open air theme park.
AirBnB should just be banned.
There needs to be more restrictions placed on Airbnb-type properties. It’s simple math – we can’t take that much inventory off the regular rental/purchase market.
I so very much agree with the frustration of this, but the angst needs to come out to policy makers. You can’t blame foreigners for wanting to visit, but it’s the responsibility of local governments to enact policy to make sure that so when it does happen, there is regulation in place so that the locals dont get bought out.
In the big picture, what are these stickers going to accomplish? will it make the buildings targeted for vandalism? rally crime against expats? In reality, the housing crisis is a global problem, and even in places where people don’t want to go whether it’s idaho or manitoba rent is increasing faster than salaries can keep up. There are SO many ways governments can easily counter this, but there’s no interest. Why? Because it’s a problem that only affects the poor, and the wealthy are benefactors. Guess who makes the law? Well, it’s not the poor.
There is a reason I only use booking.com and visit hotels. Airbnb sucks ass for the locals.
This is due to the plague of squatters that has taken over the country with the connivance of the government and the support of the entire legal system, which ensures their impunity.
Nowadays in Spain, there is no right to property, since anyone who enters your home and stays there for 48 hours can call the police and claim to have “established their residence” and be protected by the law.
I myself have been suffering from squatters in my apartment for over 5 years, with over 20 thousand euros in unpaid rent debt, and there’s no way to evict them. If I go to my house to tell them to leave, they can call the police, and I could end up in prison and be sentenced to 4 years for “coercion.”
Would you rent under those conditions? That’s why those who dare to rent demand very high prices or use Airbnb to rent without falling into the absurdity of Spanish rental laws.
Not sure what the point of this is. Most tourists wont be able to read it, and personally I wouldn’t even notice it.
They should vent their anger more usefully towards their elected officials.
So the family doesnt want to buy an own appartment, but tell the owner whom he is allowed to rent it to?
I dont think a family thinks that way – only envious “activists” do 😉
Honestly fuck the English they left us why should we accommodate them
The inconvenient truth..no famous destination wants the masses. They all want the one to ten percenters. This also fits present agendas of a future where the plebs don’t vacation via plane, where the plebs don’t long distance at all, don’t cruise ship and use a bike or public transport for everydays. This is not only the way to save the climate but also the resources will last longer for the rich. Win win.
Putting all the blame on Airbnb is politicians gaslighting you because they failed to build enough low income-housing. They used to do that in the 50s and 60s and then sold it all off in the 00s.
Airbnbs can be a problem in some tourist-heavy areas but overall they’re a fraction of the housing stock. In Berlin, we have 2 million apartments and just 17k of them are Airbnbs – less than 1%.
Same happening in Portugal.
Lisbon and Porto are getting overpriced.
People are getting pushed out of rented homes to put more tourists.
I start seeing graffiti saying stuff like “Tourists go home”
