Medellin Digital Nomads Weep Over Airbnb Rules

Tech bros and digital nomads in Medellin, Colombia, are throwing a collective temper tantrum over a new April 2026 government decree that actually dares to regulate Airbnbs and curb rampant gentrification. The audacity of locals wanting affordable housing instead of another matcha bar for crypto traders! These enlightened expats are furiously complaining that the regulations will ruin the 'vibe' and stifle their 'innovation'. Luckily, the only vibe I care about is the offshore wind grooming the waves at Zippers, far away from anyone who unironically uses the word 'synergy'.
