Question 21548 — housing

Summary

Mr. Ian Boucard draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, responsible for cities and housing, to the need to preserve the possibility for all citizens, regardless of their place of residence, to access property. Indeed, government policy on housing seems to want to direct households to settle in metropolises and in rental housing to the detriment of rural areas. In fact, the abolition of the APL-accession and the Zero Interest Loan (PTZ) for zones C and B2 affect a majority of citizens. These measures are harmful to the economy, the sale of individual houses having fallen by 12% in 2018, going from 135,000 houses sold to 120,000. This drop affects construction companies since the construction of a house creates on average 1.8 jobs, so 21,000 jobs have been lost. The abolition of this aid on a large part of the national territory is incomprehensible since the PTZ costs the State 8,000 euros per house built while the construction of an individual house brings in on average 33,000 euros in value added tax without counting contributions to communities. It is therefore economic nonsense not to deploy this aid throughout the country. Furthermore, the poorest households who have chosen to settle in rural areas are the most affected by these measures. For example, a couple with two children with an income of 2,200 euros per month will no longer be able to benefit from this aid and will be obliged to be a tenant while the same household established in mainland France can become an owner. This state of affairs poses a problem of equality since Those who will no longer have the means to borrow without the assistance of this aid will encounter a problem of access to property and will necessarily have to turn to rental housing which is less developed in rural areas. The removal of these measures marks a break in the cohesion of the territories and creates discrimination between the inhabitants of the territories and the inhabitants of the metropolises. It appears essential to encourage, with budgetary measures, the French are building in rural areas at the risk of increasing the desertification of municipalities. This is why he asks what measures the Government intends to take to restore equal access to property across all territories.
