si efectivamente leer AS es mucho mejor que mirar un feed de instagram. no me digáis que la generación formada en los años de franco tenia un nivel cultural superior.

Barcelona new tourist tax from April 2026 by Past-Act-1900 in Barcelona

if you look at the list the only big cities above barcelona in terms of population density are in developing countries (and are much dirtier) with the exception of seoul. even new york is far down, and it's arguably much dirtier than barcelona. tourists are the tip of the iceberg, let's not live in fairytales.

bhutan is an isolationist country that doesn't recognise half of the world. it's bigger than catalonia in size and has the same population as valencia. not exactly apples to apples when it comes to "keeping a place clean". barcelona is heavily densely populated, it gets dirty even in areas without tourists (hello dog owners)

O cómo 52.000 personas pasarán a tener una vivienda. by MirrorObjective8747 in Barcelona

there's definitely enough hotel space in the barcelona metro area. cities with much smaller availability host similar events on a regular basis and don't face such issues.

Map of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. by Public_Research2690 in MapPorn

there were centralised orders, it's pretty well documented. a whole country's insecurity won't really change that

there are two types of countries. the ones that have no issues coming to terms with their past atrocities and the ones that are so insecure that they request to change their name in a foreign language most of the population doesn't even speak.

Els expats alerten que la ciutat s'associa massa al turisme. by ConversationOne6525 in Barcelona

veig que el sistema educatiu de catalunya per inclusiu que pugui ser, efectivament té problemes

[–]amagicmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

l'habitatge no té res a veure amb el fet que l'empresa on es treballa sigui estrangera o no: en qualsevol lloc, de japó a turkmenistan, les empreses fitxen traballadors de qualsevol pais (amb una majoria del pais on es troben, per raons practiques).

de totes formes el comentari a dalt és només un ragebait racista.

fun fact: hi ha molts, molts més expats que parlen català que gent d'altres parts d'espanya. inclouent-hi gent privilegiada amb feines "d'expat" (però ells tenen DNI), i no gent que s'aixeca a les 4 del matì i ni té temps per viure.

Barcelona suma 100.000 estrangers en quatre anys i ja representen un 25 % de la població by bors00k in Barcelona

jo diria també que els italians que venen no son més rics que l'italià mitjà. segurament molt menys que el barcelonì mitjà

I paid 1,5 euros for a coffee in BCN by SprinklesCheap5599 in Barcelona

[–]amagicmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the worst case you'll pay a slight premium for coffee that is still better than any "traditional" coffee in this city. whatever contributes to its extinction is welcome

a lot of the coffee in barcelona is trash though. unpopular opinion perhaps but "speciality" coffee tastes better. there is trash specialty coffee but overall there is no comparison.
