When subsidies become a bargaining chip: Madrid, Mallorca and the puzzle of rents

Answer

Why are people in Son Gotleu and Calvià affected differently by Mallorca's housing crisis?

Different parts of Mallorca face different pressures, but the result is similar: many residents struggle to find affordable homes. In places like Son Gotleu, the issue is often local affordability and access, while in areas such as Calvià the market can be pushed up by strong demand and competing uses. The common problem is that long-term housing is getting harder to secure across the island.
