I live in BCN now and I think Airbnb is really the biggest issue - the other things don't really affect you if you stay out of Las Ramblas, Barceloneta etc. I moved from Sagrada Familia to Guinardo and its much nicer and not yet affected by the tourism etc. It must suck to own a house in Barceloneta or something as it has changed completely although you would probably be able to sell it for a lot more money than it used to be worth I suppose.
