They sound like twats. There’s something ugly about exploiting a cheaper cost of living overseas and still complaining about it to the locals. I have suspicions where these videos were filmed.

The UK complaining about Australia is one of their favourite pastimes. We too in Australia feed off their tears and it would sincerely break our hearts if they were to stop.

I get the frustration, but I don’t think its fair to direct it at tourists. I don’t believe for a second that the protestors aren’t at times tourists themselves, and it’s hard to see what directing abuse at random tourists visiting for a week, with no emotional investment or control of Spain’s rental system, could possibly achieve.

Airbnb has been allowed to run unregulated in pretty much every market. Naturally this hurts areas where tourism is a major industry more than others–so again, I get the frustration. But geez, channel that back to people who can actually fix it rather than yelling at foreigners.

EDIT: Sorry I should add, I’m referring to not just this piece of graffiti, but also the similar posts that seem to appear on lemmy every few days.
