Graffiti ignites conversation over housing crisis in Barcelona
STORY: A new artwork has been graffitied on a wall in Barcelona. And it's sparked a conversation about the Spanish city's housing crisis. The message that "tourism is killing this city" chimes with the frustrations of some locals. They blame tourism for exacerbating housing issues - with residents facing soaring rents and limited supply. 'We have a crisis, a crisis. All the apartments that are being rented out and all that, they become touristic apartments. And it's a problem. And when they don't, the rents are for millionaires.' The graffiti comes in the wake of a court ruling in March supporting Barcelona's plan to ban holiday apartment rentals by 2028. The city plans to cancel tourism licenses for short-term rentals, impacting more than 10,000 apartments. Barcelona is grappling with how to balance tourism, which is one of the main drivers of its economy, with local needs. Barcelona resident Julio Garcia says the problem is not just caused by tourism itself, but by big property owners who "take over everything and do what they want". The supply of homes for long-term rent in Barcelona has fallen by 58% since 2020, according to Idealista, a property website. And it's not just Barcelona. Regions across Spain are considering steps to protect local interests. In the Canary Islands, for example, limits are being placed on the short-term letting market to manage the supply of housing. But with tourism a major economic driver, Spain faces a delicate balancing task.
