    It never ceases to amaze me how people get get so brainwashed on xenophobia and hating tourists when its their government at fault.

    Edit: Well looks like 18 lemmy users didn’t read the news. Locals in barcelonia were literally harassing tourists with water-guns, instead of actually protesting against their government.

      Its about the cost of living and lack of affordable housing when companies buy up or build new places just to rent them out on airbnb, that’s why it says it used to be their home. Nothing to do with tourism or xenophobia.
