Answer

What can Mallorca municipalities do about the housing shortage?

Local authorities can improve transparency about how homes are actually used, strengthen checks on subsidized housing, and support cooperative or non-profit housing models. They can also encourage long-term rental use with practical incentives and better planning rather than relying on broad bans that are difficult to apply.
