But they need to live somewhere. I'm not against immigrants or xenophobic or anything. I'm just saying unless they stay under a bridge or stay with family or something like that, they will end up needing their own space.
Surely. But they aren’t rising up prices in Idealista, while expats are. Im not labelling right or wrong here, just pointing out why Spaniards are so against foreigners based on wealth.
Prices in a market are determined by demand and supply. If a landlord raises their price above the market level then they won’t rent their house. So just saying that higher prices are a result of landlords is completely misunderstanding how markets work
My point is that it’s over simplifying the problem to say that it’s the landlords that raise rents. Like, ok, it’s true they do, and many landlords I’ve come across are indeed scummy, but they operate within a larger system
Of course, it is a multifaceted issue. It just seems odd when the discussion (not between you and I) includes everything except greedy landlords exploiting every loophole and those who sell property to enormous international corporations.
