    This feels like misplaced anger, given that blackstone owns god knows how much of the real estate market ( and have recently been evicting tenants in order to sell, due to the city becoming ‘less hospitable’ ). But hopefully the new anti airbnb measures have some effect.

      In Barcelona?

      Not everything is solely an american issue, even (especially) when it comes to US companies.

        Doing some minimal research, it does appear as if they are trying to take over the world: https://archive.is/ZQBz3

        It’s kind of what they do… I wouldn’t assume safety because of borders or local rules and regulations. Those don’t stand up against billions of dollars and a determined evil company.

        Classic Lemmy where someone says “not every is American” in response to an issue that actually does apply to them

      I don’t think it’s misplaced, but even if it’s not the biggest piece in the puzzle(I honestly don’t claim to know) it’s still a valuable piece, one might even say it’s as valuable as an edge of corner piece of the puzzzle
