[PD-ot] PD-ot Digest, Vol 29, Issue 11

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Yeah, Barcelona is being overrun by moneyed people from outside.  The  
property rates have skyrocketed while salaries have barely changed,  
for the most part.  People who grew up there can no longer afford it,  
and are moving out.  My girlfriend grew up in Barcelona and many of  
her friends and cousins have left because they had to.

I saw the conclusion of this effect while growing up near San  
Francisco.  It used to be a very diverse, interesting city.  Now it's  
dominated by hipsters and yuppies.
