Not sure if you are from Barcelona, but that is not right. Barcelona is, like Madrid, a city crowded by tourists which, obviously, look for the cheapest choice. That is legit, of course. The problem is when all owners want to make the most from their buildings, sharing them with Airbnb. This increases rent fares in most of the neighborhoods (as no houselord wants to earn less asking for a monthly quote instead of the amount earned with Airbnb) , and obligates people who live and work there to move outside. That is why the government of the city council took actions to attempt to reverse the situation.
