Question 17526 — town planning

Summary

Ms. Rachel Keke alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for housing, to the particularly alarming situation of residents of the Saint-Jacques district of Perpignan. Indeed, as part of the tour of popular neighborhoods that she has been carrying out since the start of the parliamentary session, the MP paid a visit to the historic district of Saint-Jacques in Perpignan. Accompanied by activists from the Saint-Jacques collective and the Le Fil à Métisser association, the MP was appalled by the state of disrepair of the buildings and homes. The residents met expressed to the MP deep feelings of abandonment and social exclusion, not to mention their endangerment linked to their degraded homes. The Saint-Jacques collective questioned the policy disaster carried out for years by successive municipalities. The latter would only be interested in the vote of the inhabitants to whom they promise renovation work and improvements to the building without this being followed up on. Added to all of these problems is the absence of local public services that residents and their collectives have also been demanding for several years. However, the municipality The current government has chosen to situate its policy on security grounds, thus ignoring the real needs of the populations concerned. Thus, a repressive policy of recourse to the police was favored. The town hall proceeded with the demolition of some buildings and homes without prior dialogue with the populations concerned who were presented with a fait accompli without discussion. In this context, the collectives in the Saint-Jacques district denounce a policy of planned gentrification which will have the effect of increasing the prices of housing and land. This increase in prices and rents will also have the effect of pushing precarious populations, i.e. the majority of current and historical residents of Saint-Jacques, to leave the neighborhood and settle elsewhere. The deputy wonders about the fate of inhabitants who are at least 60% today living below the poverty line, with a high unemployment rate. The MP questions the Minister Delegate for Housing, Mr. Guillaume Kasbarian, on the measures he intends to take and put in place in the face of this worrying situation in the Saint-Jacques district and its residents. She wants to know what material and financial responses he will provide to respond to this crisis. That does he intend to do to get the neighborhood out of its current state of unsanitary conditions while preserving and allowing current residents to stay and live in their neighborhood?
