    Fast forward to 2028: “why tourists do not come here anymore ? We are loosing money here.”

      Barcelona still has plenty of regular commercial Hotels that are purpose built to house many tourists.

        True but they basically cut how many people could stay in Barcellona, not how many people could go to Barcellona.
        So what will happen, in my opinion, is that people will continue to go to Barcellona, staying in the surroundings to sleep.

        So both of the problems they want to solve will be not solved: they will continue to have over-tourism and the houses will not go on the market so the prices will not lower.

          and the houses will not go on the market

          I understand the other arguments but I’m confused about this one.
          If houses that were used to house tourists are no longer allowed to do so, why would they not become available for either rent or sale?
          What else is there for the owners to do with them?
