Housing shortage in Mallorca: Protection for locals or symbolic politics?

Answer

What should Mallorca municipalities do to ease the housing shortage?

Municipalities in Mallorca need more than access restrictions if they want lasting relief. They should build more social and rental housing, review empty tourist properties, set clear allocation rules and use financial tools that discourage speculation. Measurable goals and uniform legal standards would also make the policy easier to monitor and enforce.
