Answer

How should Palma respond to homelessness in public spaces?

A lasting response in Palma needs both immediate help and longer-term housing solutions. Social support on site, access to emergency shelter, and coordination between health, housing and social services are more effective than repeated clearances alone. Without that, people are often just moved from one street to another.
