When the Neighborhood Gives Way to the Market: Paths Out of Mallorca's Housing Shortage

Answer

What practical steps could Mallorca take to make housing more affordable?

The most realistic steps are better data, faster permits, stronger checks on occupancy, and clearer incentives for affordable housing. Renovating existing homes for long-term rental can also be more effective than relying only on luxury new builds. Mallorca may also benefit from pilot projects in selected districts to see which measures work before they are expanded.
