Answer

What longer-term housing policies could help workers in Mallorca live close to their jobs?

One approach is to review vacant buildings and repurpose them into affordable housing, with agreements and incentives for owners. Building social housing for low-wage workers is also part of the strategy, along with rules to prevent long-term flats being converted into holiday rentals. These policies aim to keep people connected to the places where they work.
