A live broadcast on BFM Paris Île-de-France
Since the start of the 2024 school year, “actu Paris” has been a partner of the show “Île-de-France Politiques”, broadcast live on BFM Paris Île-de-France every Thursday, at 7:30 p.m. An event which highlights local political news, and which can be seen in replay here: https://www.bfmtv.com/paris/replay-emissions/capitale-2020/
An ever-increasing situation incomprehensible in Paris, and which takes on a particular resonance with the entry into force of the winter break.
The capital is experiencing an unprecedented housing crisis. Slow construction of social housing (more than 800,000 pending applications last year), decline in new construction, increase in furnished tourist accommodation, substandard housing (Île-de-France had 1.3 million of poorly housed people in 2023)…
However, at the same time, the share of unoccupied housing intended for housing continues to increase: from 14% in 2011, it rose to 19% in 2023, reaching 262,000 housing units, the equivalent of 1 housing out of 5. A Parisian specificity which risks getting worse, if we take into account the future ban on the rental of energy strainers (56 7,000 housing units potentially affected in Paris).
Incitement or repression?
How did we get here and how can we remove the blockages? What are the levers of the public authorities to reconquer permanently vacant housing, which numbered 19,000 in 2020? Are the tools they have effective?
Shouldn't we go further, such as transferring responsibility for requisitions to Paris City Hall? What is the latter's 2024 winter emergency plan? What are the ways to encourage owners to rent their properties? Without increasing taxes and when Parliament has just adopted the bill aimed at reducing the tax advantage for furnished tourist accommodation?
All these questions, BFM Paris Île-de-France and Paris news have decided to submit them, this Thursday, November 7, 2024, as part of the program “Île-de-France Politiques”, to three actors and experts on the issue of housing in our territory: Jacques Baudrier, deputy (PCF) to the mayor of Paris in charge of housing and the ecological transition of buildings, Eric ConstantinÎle-de-France regional director of the Abbé-Pierre Foundation, and Jean Pinsollepresident of the Chamber of Owners of Greater Paris (3,800 members).
A meeting that, we hope, many of you will follow. See you at 7:30 p.m. on BFM Paris Île-de-France, this Thursday, November 7, 2024.
