Rich and Poor Side by Side in Es Jonquet: Only Seven Social Apartments Next to Million-Euro Apartments

Answer

Why is the Es Jonquet project in Mallorca being criticized?

The criticism is that the project combines very expensive apartments with only a few subsidized homes, which many see as a weak response to Palma’s housing pressure. There is also concern that the social units are separated from the main building and may not create real social mixing. For many locals, it reflects the growing gap between luxury development and affordable housing in Mallorca.
