Answer

How does rising home prices affect workers and families in Mallorca?

Many service workers, teachers, and carers live in towns around Palma, so higher prices mean longer commutes and tougher access to long-term rentals. The shortage of affordable homes pushes people to make difficult housing choices and can reshape daily life in local communities. This shifts where people can afford to live and work on the island.
