I, too, was genuinely intrigued by this news! 😲 It's about the Palma City Council's decision to change the zoning of certain lands, which has strongly provoked the local residents' federation, raising concerns about a real estate bubble. What do you think about the plan to build rental housing and profit from it for 75 years?

The Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Palma (La Federació d'Associacions de Veïns de Palma) is raising strong objections to a recent city council decision. This decision was made by the council's plenary session on July 31st.
The federation has officially protested the decision to convert lands designated for specific purposes into 'asset land' and has even launched a petition. 😮
This land conversion means that real estate developers will be able to build rental housing and 'profitably utilize the property for a whopping 75 years.' From the perspective of local residents, it's natural for them to be deeply concerned that development profits from these lands will flow outwards for the next 75 years.
Which Lands are Affected?
The specific lands identified by the federation are as follows:
- Camí de Son Vida 8 (Son Rapinya-Son Quint area)
- Camí Son Fangos 4 (Coll d'en Rabassa area)
- Pierre Lavedan 5 and 1 (Son Güells area)
- Bernat Pomar 4 (Son Rapinya area)
- Pompeu Fabra 15 (La Femu area)
These lands were originally designated as facility sites (solares dotacionales) for citizens, but they are now being changed to asset land (suelo patrimonial) where developers can conduct profitable businesses. 😥
Residents' Specific Actions and Demands
Furthermore, the Son Rapinya Neighborhood Association (Associació de Veïns de Son Rapinya) has also independently protested regarding two parcels of land in their area that will be affected.
At a general meeting held on October 3rd, this decision was unanimously rejected, and it was also reported that they agreed to cooperate with the local educational institution, CIDE. 🤝
Residents are concerned that such a decision could create a 'real estate bubble' (burbuja inmobiliaria) and have indicated their willingness to legally sue the city council.
Is This Decision Truly Right?
Upon hearing this news, I am reminded once again how important it is to listen to the voices of local residents. 👂
Beyond simply expanding housing supply, it seems to be an issue that requires comprehensive consideration of long-term urban planning, citizens' quality of life, and preventing excessive monopolization of development profits.
