Answer

What policy changes could help Mallorca villages keep more local residents?

Possible responses include clearer rules for holiday rentals, more housing reserved for local residents and support for year-round jobs. Local councils could also use seasonal levies to pay for water, waste and traffic management when visitor numbers rise. The aim is to keep villages economically active without pricing out the people who live there year-round.
