The housing crisis "has been rotting for 10-15 years and no long-term policy addresses the problem", regrets the president of the Particulier à Particulier site

The real estate situation “has been rotting for 10-15 years and no long-term policy addresses the problem,” Corinne Jolly, president of the real estate site Particulier à Particulier, indicated on Thursday October 29 on franceinfo. According to an Ipsos survey for franceinfo-Le Figaro published Thursday, 43% of French people surveyed say that the question of housing will count in their vote during the presidential election. From now on, according to Corinne Jolly, "property prices are disconnected from the income of the French", which means that "an entire category of the population has problems finding housing and sacrifices either the size of the accommodation or the location".

The president of PAP adds that “the situation is complicated for owners, as well as for tenants”. According to her, without "long-term vision", we cannot "predict improvement for three or five years". She regrets "emergency measures" because "we are talking about this crisis, while this summer, everyone was focused on thermal kettles", but "we cannot have a housing policy that changes every three months according to current events".

“Territorial planning has been completely abandoned for 20 years” According to the president of Particulier à Particulier, the “solutions” to the housing crisis are “long term”. In particular, it is necessary to “build”, she says, “but currently, construction has never been so low, so we cannot have better in the coming years”. Also read Presidential: "No candidate seems able to resolve the housing crisis", even if Marine Le Pen "emerges a little more", according to an Ipsos poll Corinne Jolly also underlines the importance of "land planning which has been completely abandoned for 20 years".

For her, we must "rethink this development" because currently "the population is concentrated in the metropolises and on the coast while there are more affordable areas" in terms of housing, but which attract little because "there are few services, no work or school".
