When the Neighborhood Gives Way to the Market: Paths Out of Mallorca's Housing Shortage

Answer

What is a community land trust, and could it work in Mallorca?

A community land trust is a model that keeps land under long-term common-good control instead of letting it be fully absorbed by the market. In Mallorca, it could help secure homes for residents by separating land ownership from housing use. It is especially relevant where vacant properties or new development could otherwise become part of the speculative market.
