I get that people want to see regulations on landlords, etc, but naysayers here don’t seem to have considered that it might be easier to convince would-be tourists that a place isn’t a relaxing holiday destination than it is to get a majority of the right level of politicians to agree to draft complex legislation in opposition from monied and powerful capitalist interests. Targeting tourists is totally fair game and good strategy, that doesn’t rule out pursuing regulations as well.
I've never understood the appeal of AirBNBs, letting complete strangers stay at my house sounds like it'd be an absolute NIGHTMARE.

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.

why would anarchism be a solution to this, surely it would make it worse?
Make a place undesirable to rent an Abnb in and people may stop renting.
Tell me you know nothing of anarchy without saying you know nothing.
I believe they specifically asked about anarchy? If they know little about it, what could they have posted that would have been better than what they did post?
They're open to a lucky 10,000 moment; don't drop the ball!
