Mallorca's ongoing housing crisis: Why simply building more homes isn't enough

Answer

What can Mallorca do about empty flats that are still not on the rental market?

One option is to encourage owners to rent out vacant flats through tax relief or modernization grants. Another is better price and vacancy transparency, so the market is easier to understand and unused housing is harder to ignore. The goal is to bring existing homes back into use before relying only on new construction.
