Palma builds 82 apartments — a drop in the bucket, many questions

Answer

Is Palma building enough affordable housing to make a real difference?

Not yet. The 82 planned apartments are a useful step, but they are small compared with Palma’s broader housing shortage and the city’s target of around 2,000 affordable homes. Whether they help in a lasting way depends on long-term rent limits, good management and whether the homes are tied to wider infrastructure planning.
