Overview

• The council must strike a pact with Junts by August 1 or postpone the 30% protected housing reform until after the next municipal term.
• Only 26 subsidized homes have been completed under the 2018 quota rule, with permits granted for 80 more and 50 units still in the pipeline.
• Junts proposals include a reduction of the property tax (IBI), combined with the transfer of 823 Sareb assets to the city’s public housing stock.
• Political fragmentation in the council, where Junts controls 11 seats versus PSC’s nine, is delaying final agreement on the urban planning ordinance.
• Officials aim to extinguish nearly 10,000 tourist apartment licenses by 2028 after flagging Airbnb’s slow process for removing illegal listings.
