Major Fire at Palma's Old Prison — Who Protects the People in the Abandoned Building?

Answer

Can abandoned properties in Palma be turned into housing or social facilities?

Yes, but it usually depends on ownership, planning rules and whether the building can be made safe again. The process can be slow, which is one reason abandoned sites sometimes remain unused for years. In Palma, a clearer framework for reuse could help prevent empty buildings from becoming dangerous shelters.
