Last time I was in Spain this wasn’t even a thing yet the problem already existed.
But where I live now I have experienced it first hand: I wanted to live in this picturesque village, but Airbnb Tourism has pushed rents to the point that they’re just as expensive as in the capital, and I had to move 1 village over where they’re half that. Consequently there’s fewer true villagers and more and more visitors and actually living in that village is more and more defined by wealth.
