Answer

What can Mallorca do to make housing more affordable for locals?

Local housing in Mallorca will likely need several measures at once, not just one quick solution. Faster approvals, more subsidised housing, better use of empty buildings and stricter control of short-term rentals are all part of the discussion. Transport improvements also matter, because they make it easier for people to live farther from the most expensive areas.
