Answer

Why do public offices in Palma become gathering points for homeless people?

Public offices in Palma can become gathering points because they are central, easy to find and often close to services people need. For someone living on the street, being near an office may also feel safer than staying in a more hidden location. But without proper support nearby, the area can quickly become tense for both staff and residents.
