Answer

What could Palma do to make housing more available for locals?

Possible steps include better data on how homes are used, stronger enforcement of rental rules and more support for first-time local buyers. Ideas also include taxes on permanently vacant properties and tighter controls on turning housing into tourist accommodation, but many of these changes need political agreement across different levels of government.
