What distinguishes the current discussions surrounding the issues of massification, overcrowding and housing shortages in Mallorca from similar discussions before the pandemic? Quite simply, the problem has now reached the centre of society. It no longer “only” affects seasonal workers from Andalusia, who now avoid Mallorca because they can no longer find an affordable room here. Or poorly educated “mileuristas” who have to live with mum until they are 35 because their 1000 euro salary is not even enough to eat.

I'm completely sympathetic to everything you've said here. But everything is relative: go and live in Rome or Paris or Berlin (or London) for a while and Mallorca will suddenly seem both cheap and orderly.
