Friggin eh, Barcelona. ✊

A total ban is the only sane policy for Airbnb. There obviously needs to be accommodation in cities for visitors, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of housing units for people who actually live there. More governments should follow Barcelona’s lead.

Barcelona Plans to Ban All Short-Term Rentals for Tourists From 2029www.bloomberg.com Barcelona plans to enact a citywide ban on all short-term rentals to address complaints that tourism is to blame for a local housing crisis and soaring rents.

Given the homeless and finding a apartment in any major city problem. Wish more cities would ban Airbnb.

I want this for PEI or at least Charlottetown SO BAD.

If only our annoying politicians would take notice and do what the people want; instead of corporations/lobbying groups.
