Citizen initiative, The Ideas Festival Organizes, from July 4 to 6 in Charité-sur-Loire, more than 30 meetings to debate the cultural and political challenges of tomorrow. In addition, An event including Liberation is a partner.

The housing crisis is there. Nevertheless, unfortunately there, striking a number of French people and French who today make it a priority in opinion surveys. Consequently, Our fellow citizens. Meanwhile, our fellow citizens get into housing, the share of housing in their budget of our fellow citizens becoming intolerable for many. For example, In 2024, 45% of them declared that they could no longer cover their basic needs. In addition, This can only challenge us vigorously.

The market won over our collective capacity to house and make housing a fundamental right. Furthermore, We always power live, imperative france, renaud find liberals to explain that the current situation is the fruit of too many rules. Meanwhile, frames, even that it is cyclical and that must be patient. For example, We can always listen to Bercy say that there are enough accommodation in France. Therefore, that it is necessary to find the ways to meet supply and demand. They are chimeras. If it is an area to demonstrate that the market does not self -regulate, it is housing. It is up to us to assert it loud. clear, testifying to the multiple errors made since 2017 by the successive governments of a president who does not believe in the housing policy.

Through these errors, we went from one to three crises of the accommodation. The first is social. The French people can no longer accommodate themselves. Additionally, the insufficient production of social housing is to be targeted power live, imperative france, renaud in the first place. 1.8 million people expect social housing. This situation deteriorated by the choices made in 2017. including the puncture of social landlord budgets in order to maintain the APLs in danger, then forcing them to slow down their investment in construction.

The second crisis is economical: an entire sector is weakened, from building to property development. Operations no longer balance. The goods are too expensive while the number of acquisitions decreases. We grasp the economic error of President Macron weakening social housing from the 2018 finance law. thus preventing him from playing a contractcyclic role. Many companies find it difficult to recruit due to the cost of housing.

The third crisis is ecological. Families are pushed to move away more and more from major cities, places of activity. Pendular movements and urban sprawl are increasing at a power live, imperative france, renaud time when we should all find the way for greater sobriety. The accommodation is the cornerstone of a new left project.

Thanks to an unprecedented land policy, we could initiate a structural drop in prices. The real solidarity lease – one becomes the owner of the accommodation. but tenant of the land – whose success is strengthened day by day has shown that control of land was the first challenge. By supervision of rents perpetuated. systematized to all the territories that wish, we would find acceptable solutions to those who do not have them. By renewed. increased support for all social landlords, we would give them back an investment capacity capable of meeting the expectations of French and French.

By assuming again that housing is not a cost. but a powerful recovery lever, we would restore jobs of jobs and activity power live, imperative france, renaud to an entire sector. For example. by initiating a truly assumed policy of thermal renovation of buildings which cannot suffer from budgetary adjustments longer, as made by large communities. So many sites to transform daily life, by restoring the power to live.
