When the island stands still: What Lucas Cordalis’ anger about the traffic jam on Mallorca reveals

Answer

How does regulating short-term rentals affect housing and traffic on the island?

Stricter controls and zonal quotas can limit tourist short-term rentals in high-demand areas and redirect funds to social housing. This can improve housing access for workers and potentially reduce the need for long commutes. The goal is to balance tourism with affordable living options.
