Eviction in Palma: What remains after the 'House of Horrors'?

Answer

What should Mallorca cities do with derelict buildings after an eviction?

Cities need a plan that goes beyond sealing the entrance. In Mallorca, that can mean inventorying empty properties, requiring owners to make repairs, and deciding whether a building can be turned into housing or another useful use. Social support is also important when people who occupied the building need help finding a safer alternative.
