But, they need to target their Government/Officials who allow this to happen. As I have said before on other threads I believe its the Airbnb that is the problem. Around the World this should be banned in residential areas. Thier Government also needs to do more to stop places like Magaluf, its a lovely place by day but night...
//That's Airb&b, they can make a lot more money for a lot less agro.//
Yes, the Spanish have been making it very hard for Landlords of long term lets, so guess what owners turn to an easier way where they are not stuck with unwanted tenants.
Will be coming here soon, and then the left will whine about no accomodation.
Actions and consequences.
I understand the frustration in Barcelona as I've seen it written that AirBnB and other holiday lets mean there's a shortage of accommodation for locals, and what there is the rent is greater than the average wage, but for places like Majorca, 35% of their income is from tourism and over 30% of jobs. Tourism is the single largest contributor to the Island's income and employment - they're mad to mess with those numbers.
The problem is that the socialist running the EUSSR hate landlords so they make it ever more difficult for them. Solution? AirBnB good money, person gone in days or weeks. Let a flat for a grand a week rather than a couple of hundred, no contest. Take on a full time tennant and you have all the red tape that goes with that. If the people of Majorca or indeed any comparable place want to moan at someone, moan at successive trobiscite governments scaring anyone but the big boys out of letting.
