Barcelona votes to evict tourist apartment rentals from city
Briefly

Barcelona will allow 10,101 tourist rental licenses to expire to address a housing crisis worsened by Airbnb and Vrbo, pushing rents up by 68% in a decade.
Decree law in Catalonia allows officials to force landlords to provide affordable housing, permitting 'compulsory expropriation' of vacant or non-residential properties like short-term rentals.
