Digital Nomads in Mallorca: Who Pays the Price?

Answer

Why is affordable housing such a big issue in Mallorca right now?

Mallorca has limited space for new building, and much of the existing housing stock is pulled toward holiday lets, investment use, or short-term stays. That leaves fewer homes for people who want to live on the island year-round, which is why the issue feels so urgent in places like Palma.
