Spain’s housing crisis sees homelessness rise as tourism booms • FRANCE 24 English

Carmen Cajamarca has been renting a flat in the same Madrid building for 25 years. But now, the building’s owner has decided to turn the apartments into holiday rentals and Carmen and her neighbours have been told they have to leave. They are among a growing number of Spaniards who are finding themselves being priced out of the rental market amid a boom in short-term rentals on platforms such as Airbnb that, combined with a lack of social housing, has seen some forced to live on the streets.
