Social Housing in the Luxury Complex: How Much Solidarity Can Be Bought?

Answer

Are fines enough to stop developers from ignoring social housing quotas in Mallorca?

Probably not on their own. If the penalty is much smaller than the value of the development, it can become a cost of doing business rather than a real deterrent. In Mallorca, effective enforcement also needs follow-up checks, clear rules, and consequences that scale with the size and profit of the project.
