Protesters have been camping out in Madrid's Puerta del Sol to demonstrate against Spain's severe housing crisis, pointing the finger at vulture funds, investment firms, and short-term rentals like Airbnb for driving up rent prices. Over the last decade, rental costs have surged by an average of 84% across Spain, significantly outpacing salaries and making housing the country's top concern. While protesters and the Spanish government attribute the crisis to speculation and corporate landlords, economic experts and Bank of Spain data suggest that the primary driver is a fundamental shortage of housing supply relative to rising demand, exacerbated by demographic shifts, stagnant wages, and lagging construction rates.
