Portugal new resident (the terms 'immigrant and expat' are heavily loaded, and make less and less sense in the context of movement within the EU) of some years. AirBnB has wrecked city centres (Lisbon, Porto). Banning it, right now, is the only thing that will help. However AirBnB is putting money into the pockets of many Portuguese families who were lucky enough to own downtown properties (in what were previously undesirable locations e.g. by the river). Thus politically this may be difficult. Much easier to blame golden visa holders (correctly - but a lower order cause), but also Digital Nomads and other foreign workers (not including the foreign workers from the former colonies who do all the grotty jobs of course - they don't mind them). Sadly this has crept into online and public discourse. However Digital Nomads don't really earn that much in the grand scheme of things typically, and also tend to be paid from outside Portugal, tax breaks aside surely they are a net benefit.
