So they protest against paying tourists but not against welfare migrants who take up way more housing AND get it all paid for by the people who protest?
While the hypocrisy and all that political jazz is relevant, there is a growing problem with AirBnBs and their effects across the entire Western world.
Like, its rapidly growing out of control and is massively furthering the "you will never own a house because corporations/elites bought them all." Except now its not to rent them to you for rent level prices, but for "vacation rental" level prices.
But its racist for one side to point it out and the other is too busy virtue signalling about immigrants to score upvotes to acknowledge it.
I know landlords are increasingly moving from traditional renting to AirBnB because they can make more money and have less red tape in evicting people. It's not just about holiday homes and tourism.
The program my mortgage people use literally has an entire section devoted to "here is the average AirBnB for a house that size in the area and how long doing so will it take to pay your loan off." Would cut over 20 years off my mortgage.
Problem is, a lot of the reason why landlords need more money and less red tape is because the government is constantly jacking up the cost of everything (sewer, water, property taxes) and then increasing the legal protections squatters have.
So its a problem that the government is exacerbating into a catastrophe that even decent moral people trying their best cannot deal with without succumbing to the cancer.
It's more than that. Anyone who can rent a home is inherently the Petty Bourgeoise.
The protesters would love nothing more than to rape their children and set them on fire for making an AirBnB. They hate them more than anyone on Earth. Even Orwell felt that the Petty Bourgeoise should be killed. In Animal Farm, this is represented by a mare that likes having a bow in her hair. Everyone hates her and considers her to be scum, and that the farm is better off without her because she's a traitor. They want the Petty Bourgouise (Kulaks) to have their homes taken from them, and their families raped & killed.
These bunch then want to turn those homes into state owned buildings to put "refugees" in.
Most people will be able to afford a house in their life time, the problem is that the age where it is possible is getting older, specifically for lower class and lower-middle class issue.
Older people who have saved longer, and middle-class people have a 2nd property that they will try to rent out because their mechanism for building wealth is inherently unsafe. You can only work so long in the corporate latter and get so much income, so the rest of your asset wealth has to be built through another means. Since pensions are frauds, and investments are sketchy at best right now, and starting a business is excruciating at best; then owning land is the most assured way of increasing your wealth over time.
Everyone should do it. It's a good idea. Your refusal to save money, your need to be resentful of others, your love for theft, and your hunger to be a corporate wage slave is not a justifiable reason to declare that someone else doesn't "deserve" that wealth. They have a right to defend their property from you, because they actually earned it, unlike what you're looking to do.
normal people will be lucky to afford a single shitty property in their life time let alone two, that's no longer middleclass
You're ignorant of reality. I work with the middle-class literally every day (and I'm not one of them). They exist. Secondly, I can work with people to get them homes, even with limited income. Homes can be acquired by anyone, the issue is how much you have in savings, whether or not you reliably pay your debts, and the quality and size of your house.
Here's an example. This house is the price of less than a year of income for most people. Even with no cash on hand, you can easily get a loan for a house like this if you have decent credit. You can improve the lot and the property with minimal effort over the span of 3-5 years and upgrade it and take the equity into your new mortgage. Simple things like improved internet, better landscape, better furniture & appliances, and you'll be able to make a profit when you sell it. That is the wealth building that people need (even if they never make more than $30k a year).
I see this shit literally every day. I teach people this shit every day.
Gambling and exploiting markets shouldn't be encouraged, normal people can't gain assets
I explicitly avoided bringing up stock investments. Assets are shit every single person buys every day. If you can buy silver, you can buy assets. Asset wealth comes in all sorts of different forms at all sorts of price points. Most people just don't invest in assets that appreciate well over time. Housing and land is one of those that can actually do it fairly reliably with a little action on your part.
Takes more money than normal working men can make, fuck you for your attitude
See above, my attitude saves lives and builds families.
thinking people should be forced to work for their money means I
Investing in asset wealth is working for your money. Installing a nicer sink is literally what that is.
Nobody "earns" anything, its all downstream of circumstance and the way jobs are valued are completely out of whack, hard labor pays less than many white collar jobs and there are far too many low value high pay positions
Your whole statement here is a lie. Everyone earns their keep from their work, whether you think it's the 'right amount' or not. Almost none of it is from circumstance. Blue collar jobs are paid wildly well, and it's mostly the white-collar jobs that aren't seeing any wage growth.
Again, I know this more intimately than your resentful doom-mongering does. I live this shit.
No idea but if I was to guess, they don't like tourists. No one likes tourists. Maybe they have to many of them in some areas.
However, since they are far-left they can use that to virtue signal on how they hate "white" tourists, hating only white people is "inclusive' and "morally superior".
Is this actually something I need to worry about? Was planning on vacationing in Spain soon and, you know, spending my hard earned money on the Spanish economy. Sigh.
Considering how far-left the Spanish are, they probably need all those hotels to house arabs and africans.
I was watching PJW's video on it and there are numerous graffiti saying Tourist go home and refugees welcomed under it? It's such a weird dichotomy.

Housing.
Large numbers of houses in Barcelona have been bought and converted into AirBnBs. Housing prices are making residents angry.
So they protest against paying tourists but not against welfare migrants who take up way more housing AND get it all paid for by the people who protest?
Anti white racism is one hell of a drug. Even self hatred.
Rent affects them directly. They don't care about the rest.
"yes' i get raped now and then, but at least the rent's cheap"
well yeah. the migrants do all they can to make the place unpleasant for tourists, of course the anti tourist locals support them.
While the hypocrisy and all that political jazz is relevant, there is a growing problem with AirBnBs and their effects across the entire Western world.

But they are cool with refugees?
Yup. The Leftists are literally writing:
"Tourists Go Home" "Refugees Welcome"
The fact they scrawl refugees welcome under the tourists go home graffiti
I would think migrants coming in waves and waves would be more upsetting than tourists who put money into the local economy. Silly me
Right
Because they're fucking morons who believe the bullshit that's being fed to them by people who do not have their interests in mind.
No idea but if I was to guess, they don't like tourists. No one likes tourists. Maybe they have to many of them in some areas.

Spain's economy is in the shitter. They don't get to be picky with who they get their money from.
Business owners like tourists
To be fair I don't know if it's exclusive to white people but from the footage I saw of people getting sprayed with water guns were all white
Is this actually something I need to worry about? Was planning on vacationing in Spain soon and, you know, spending my hard earned money on the Spanish economy. Sigh.
Not at all. First of all, it's just Barcelona, and secondly, it's just discontent. It's not as if they're going and confronting tourists.
I mean they are spraying people with squirt guns. While it's not the most egregious offense it's still a start of harassment
I would it depends on where you plan on going. It seems they big issues are in Barcelona. I don't know the full scope of the issue.
Spanish communists want to destroy as much of the country's economy as possible because they revel in human misery, suffering, and destruction.
They're obnoxious. Any place that has a large number of tourists has problems.
Blaming every possible group they can find instead of addressing the real problems.
The Spanish left are retards
Imp was right.
