Answer

What housing measures are being discussed for Mallorca?

The proposals include dedicating part of property transfer tax revenue to social housing, taxing quick property resales, and creating penalties for vacant homes or costly second homes. There is also interest in incentives that encourage long-term rentals instead of holiday lets. These ideas aim to connect public revenue more directly with the housing shortage.
