Answer

Why is affordable housing such a problem in Mallorca?

Housing has become a major issue because demand keeps rising while available homes remain limited. At the same time, growing pressure from new construction, seasonal demand and investment-driven buying makes it harder for local workers and long-term residents to stay in the market. In Mallorca, the housing shortage is now closely linked to wider infrastructure strain.
