It's not Barcelona that is doing it Scott, it's this person that is in charge who is acting stupidly for her own self interest.
I can promise you she is in some multi-billionaires' pocket.

That would be the only obvious answer, of course. If this was the US that would be, without question, what was going on. So sad to see that happening in Spain where you do not expect things like that.

HR meeting to go over final paperwork and other info.

Less likely a single rich person but more likely in the pocket of a consortium like the Barcelona hoteliers consortium that has a lot to gain by hurting the people who live in Barcelona in exchange for increasing hotel profits. This would line up with the attempt to shut down people getting accommodations outside of the city as well.

Getting some "morning" coffee. Even though I have been going for six hours now. Sometimes it takes me a while to get to the coffee.

That kind of sucks for what is going on at Barcelona though, that would be one of the places I'd visit for vacation. Seemed like a rather great place.
Yet how does anyone manage someone (or government) saying what they can do with their own property. I'd tell em to piss off.

One of my favourite places anywhere. Amazing city. But apparently the people who live there aren't too keen on visitors or freedom or privacy
Makes me never want to set foot there again, even though it was my favourite city ever to visit in 2012.I totally understand their tourists problems, but they aren't solving them, they are making them worse.

Did you see that they are starting a system to seize that property? They are attempting to get municipal ownership of the real estate by driving everyone out of their homes.

This happens all the time... look at Home owners associations, zoning laws, etc. There is a reason that these things exists (aside from taxes)... this is just a really bad/evil example of it.

Yeah, this is pretty extreme.

Hey, the counter flipped to 10K!!!
-
I think that this is now the longest thread on any NodeBB platform, anywhere!
-
Yay!
-
That is pretty remarkable. I don't think I've ever seen a 10K long thread before.
-
@coliver That's probably why they made this one... Just to break the record!

This is the first one ever on NodeBB as far as we know. Just posted over on the NodeBB forum too to let people know.

@dafyre I was thinking that this isn't really one topic. There are hundreds of other topics interspersed on this one.

More or less. It is also a catch all so that we can always chat without cluttering other things with thread sprawl. SW did this at one point and it was a great idea. Made it easier to have a "live banter" and made the rest of the site cleaner. So it allowed for even more activity with less mess. So we adopted it here too.
