Our choice of evening. Greed of promoters, laxity of cities and of State... a survey underlines shortcomings of sector (on France 5 at 20: 55).

Magazine on France 5 at 20: 55C'is something dark that stands Jean-Christophe Doors on housing in France. In 2012, candidate Francois Hollande promised to make it more accessible and less expensive. Yet, today, twelve million French people live in housing unsuitable, too small, run-down or too expensive. Worse, four million people would find mselves in a precarious situation. The documentary shows, however, that various governments of Hollande presidency would not have remained inactive, but that y would have faced pressures of real estate sector.

to introduce in 2014 law for access to housing and urban renovated, called " loi Alur ", minister of housing of time, Cécile Duflot, had hoped to limit increase in rents, which grew by 60 % in last sixteen years. However, this text is still little or poorly applied.

The film focuses on situation of two couples in paris. One is looking for a two-bedroom apartment in Paris, but most of apartments he visits, have rents that significantly exceed limits set by law. The or lives in a studio rented property is too expensive and tries to bring it down. In fact, while nearly 400 municipalities should in future benefit from this framing system, means to enforce m are limited.

The documentary also denounces mechanism that allows some individuals to invest in housing through a tax benefit.

The new law Pinel had to allow construction of apartments at affordable rents for households with modest incomes. However, in two thirds of major cities, y reach – or exceed – price of market and are of benefit to most advantaged. Or buildings have been built in areas where demand is low. Result : y remain without a tenant for several years.

The investigation is made also echo of a paradox : while nearly half a million of ile-de-france are waiting for social housing, more than 77,000 public housing would remain empty at end of three months. Anor observation : in Paris, 10 % of apartments should be reserved for those of more modest are, in fact, occupied by households.

admission of powerlessness

Jean-Christophe Doors gives widely word to former ministers of left slot Cécile Duflot (2012-2014) and Emmanuelle Cosse (2016-2017). Both are a testimony of ir helplessness in face of greed of real estate developers, laxity of municipalities, lack of courage of State.

On or hand, with exception of a representative of Century 21, first network of real estate agencies in France, documentary, presented in framework of magazine " The World in face ", hosted by Marina Carrère d'encausse, leaves little room for professionals in sector to bring ir point of view. A discussion follows this documentary, in particular with Jean-Yves Mano, president of association, CLCV (Consumption, housing and living environment), Pierre Madec, economist, and Pascal Boulanger, vice-president of Federation of real estate developers in France.

Housing, who benefits from crisis ?, Jean-Christophe Doors, with collaboration of Victoria Kopiloff (Fr., 2017, 60 min).
