Socialist Jaume Collboni told a news conference he does not plan to renew any of the 10,101 tourist licenses granted to landlords when they expire in November 2028.
Mr Collboni said the appartments, which are currently advertised on platforms such as Airbnb and Homeaway, would be available to locals instead.
Mr Collboni said that the measure would be "equivalent to building 10,000 new homes".Justifying the plan, he said rents had risen by 70% over the past 10 years and had become unaffordable.
Politicians blame high rates of tourism as well as the city's growing status as a tech hub attracting foreign workers.
New building has not kept up with the increased demand, driving up prices.Reacting to Mr Collboni's announcement, some left-wing councillors said 2028 was too far in the future for people they said were being forced out of the city now.
In recent months, thousands have protested in parts of Spain, including the Canary Islands, against the effects of mass tourism, which they claim is damaging the environment and driving locals out.

Numerous participants in the antisemitism task force, including its three co-chairs â Columbia faculty members, many of whom are outspoken Israel supporters â openly discussed the not-yet published report with the newspaper before any such information was shared with the universityâs community, or even their colleagues.
The antisemitism task force will release a report in the coming weeks detailing accounts from students who submitted written testimony or participated in âlistening sessions,â according to Haaretz.
Anecdotes that the task force shared with Haaretz include disturbing examples of antisemitism, like a professor reportedly telling a class âto avoid reading mainstream media, declaring that âit is owned by Jews.ââ
âAll three co-chairs of the task force â Ester R. Fuchs, Nicholas Lemann, and David M. Schizer â are members of the Academic Engagement Network, a Zionist advocacy organization, and the three of them penned a statement supporting Columbiaâs ties to Israel.â
âZionism literally means the venerable movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland,â the task force wrote, âbut in many settings on campus it has become a less well-defined general-purpose accusation.â
In the Haaretz article, the antisemitism task forceâs apparent prioritization of pro-Israel student experiences shields itself from critique by calling for a space of open discussion, when only one line of discourse will be institutionally sanctioned.
He notes that now most Americans donât expect to be âbetter off in five yearsâ â a record low .... Four in five doubt that life will be better for their childrenâs generation than it has been for theirs, also a new low. And ... support for capitalism has fallen among all Americans, particularly Democrats and the young. In fact, among Democrats under 30, 58 per cent now have a âpositive impressionâ of socialism; only 29 per cent say the same thing of capitalism.
This is bad news for Sharma as a strong supporter of capitalism. What has gone wrong? Sharma says that itâs the rise of big government, monopoly power and easy money to bail out the big boys. This has led to stagnation, low productivity growth and rising inequality.
It's painful watching capitalism's faithful trying to figure out where their magical system went wrong and why its results aren't benign. None of what's happening surprises capitalism's critics or the cynical exploiters who still benefit for now, but its loyal cheerleaders keep cheering even as their lives, societies and planet fall apart and a voice in the back of their mind wonders, "why doesn't this feel good?"
What a bullshit article. This is just Westerners trying to tell other countries they should be offended about stuff that doesnât bother them. Iâve been near to that Ouarzazate site before and there is nothing for miles and miles around. Itâs just a big empty area. Itâs not fertile farmland, itâs the desert.
Itâs not colonialism, itâs just business, and the Moroccans want it. Sounds like the author thinks African countries will lift themselves out of poverty with handouts.
âThis civilization confuses me. Even with their primitive compute engines, they could easily have simulated their own society to identify the glaring flaws preventing the advance of their civilization. It would have been trivial to jump multiple decimals in civilization type.â
âThey did see the flaws. The model collapsed in every single simulation on record.â
âThen why did they continue living like this?â

Such is the case with "Economy 2.0," a big update to the beleaguered yet continually in-development game, due to arrive within the next week or so.
The first and most important thing it tackles is the persistent issue of "High Rent," something that's bothering the in-game citizens ("cims" among fans), C:S2 players, and nearly every human living in the United States and many other places.
They removed the "virtual landlord" that takes in rent, so now a building's upkeep is evenly split among renters.
While developer Colossal Order's other fixes feel almost elegant in their simplicity, this one is a bit more grubby, like real life.
If a citizen has a high enough income, but not enough liquid cash, such that they should have been able to swing this month's boarding, "they wonât complain and will instead spend less money on resource consumption."
Cutting back on coffee bars and avocado toast should work, then, unless their income drops too low.
