I came across some people living in tents while i got lost on a jog in the ‘countryside’ of Siesta the other day. First time i’ve seen it personally😞

I suppose you refer to the land opposite the Mercadona in Sant Jordi, where there's plans to built the new quarters of the Guardia Civil... who don't want to be destinated to Ibiza because they can't afford to rent a place to live!

The number of new tents there increases daily, btw..

Ibiza, an island of contrasts... now more than ever!
 
What a dick! I hope he gets evicted but sadly I doubt it.
 
Interesting. What's the advantage for the owners, compared to renting out at market price? Or does the government subsidize the rent difference?
 
The luxury leaves, the shanty towns stay...

Behind paywall. Sorry
 
Something like that...

The mega-yachts, the luxury villas, the tropical gardens, the caviar, the simpas* worth thousands of euros, the bottles of champagne (Melchizedek size) served between flares and applause, the private rooms, the VIP areas, the Lamborghinis and Ferraris busting the radars on the roads of the island, the private parties, the exclusive after parties, the celebrities... They are for the summer. The luxury. The tickets. The money. The glitter. All that, in Ibiza, is for the summer.

The shacks. The substandard housing. The misery. The settlements. Not making ends meet. Not having to pay for a roof to sleep under or a door to lock. Not being able to rent a house all year round. Going to Caritas to look for food. Looking for the cheapest products in the supermarket. Exchanging dinner followed by drinks with friends for a beer at the corner bar. Playing tetris with utility bills. Giving up big trips... All that is for the whole year.

The more Ibiza diamonds in the middle of summer, the more impoverished most of those who live there all year round become. The glitter that fills the island during the season vanishes when the summer wanes, leaving in sight, without that layer of false gold, all that many insist on not seeing, hiding behind all the wealth left on the island by those who live there in season - "...when the heat arrives", as the romancero says - at full throttle.

Where is all that wealth? Who has it? Who has it? Who have kept it? How has all this luxury improved the lives of the Ibizan people (by birth or adoption)? Who have been able to stop living in a shack because of all this spending by millionaires? Who makes ends meet now better than before the start of the season? Has anyone been adopted by one of these deluxe tourists who spend in one dinner what the average worker earns all year round or in a bottle what a mini-apartment costs?

Luxury leaves in autumn. Shantytowns are here to stay. In Ibiza, the amusement park of millionaires, Ibizans are poor.
