Social Housing in the Luxury Complex: How Much Solidarity Can Be Bought?

Answer

Why are social housing units in some Palma projects placed in separate blocks?

Some developments in Palma place the subsidized apartments in a separate building or wing while the market-rate homes face the sea or the main avenue. That may satisfy the formal legal requirement, but it can still create a clear social divide within the same project. For many residents, the issue is not only access to housing but also whether the homes are genuinely part of the same community.
