Who exactly was in Paris?

[@evolancer211]

That Danish law seems pretty great, finding tenants for those empty homes. Like everything I'm sure there are downsides, but that could be part of the solution to housing shortages

[@ADobbin1]

I've a better question. If a quarter of paris is empty why are they building new suburbs on the outskirts? The same is probably true of pretty much every city on earth.

[@digitalhermit8928]

This is all the more insane considering I have seen a family with two children living under a bridge in Paris. They live in a house made from tarpaulin and plywood, and I assume the conditions are not at all safe

[@johnlesoudeur3653]

The biggest problem is that instead of treating a property as a home, it is now considered a successful investment, therefore the wealthier will invest in additional property. Compound this change by government policies such as "buy to let" in the UK. If government legislation becomes too onerous for the "new" landlords to risk letting then they will still regard the property as an investment but will forgo the extra profit activity of letting.

the real question is why are 3/4 of paris full lol

Who's in Paris?

[@inserttexthere4070]

As a middle-class Gen Z Parisian I fucking hate not being able to see myself living in my home city, I hope the problem will be solved soon...

[@user-ll8mh3rh1x]

is it a problem? Paris is crowded enough as it is.

Thank you for this interesting video. Pay attention, however, to the accuracy of the images displayed : lots of images of Versailles instead of Paris, image of Le Panthéon instead of l’Assemblée Nationale when you talk about policy makers, etc. Details matter !

[@willmako5009]

This big problem also combines with the fact that Paris is centralising so many public services. A lot of specialised public schools are only in Paris, meaning you have the choice between spending tons of money on your tuition for a private school or spending tons of money for the rent and grocery prices. And even when some of those big unis decentralise (like Sciences Po Paris), the Paris campus is always the one with the most prestige and opportunities. The Paris rent market has the same effect as legacies and high tuitions for American schools: unless you already live in Paris or are super rich, you're fucked

[@recouer]

i live in Paris and have been trying to buy a house recently, i can kinda confirm how bad it is.

[@NiftyKnot]

Britain is looking at doubling council tax for some Welsh towns that have the "the entire town is on airbnb" problem

[@salazar4026]

Its been 2 am I'm just about to sleep

[@pashminagal]

You have missed a couple key points in your summary.

[@luxuryhub1323]

you totally need to talk about spains population density. the issue is way bigger than in france, being that almost the entire population lives either in the coast or in madrid in the center, leaving a huge ring around madrid where many parts are called "la españa vacía", literally the empty spain. take a look at it it's very interesting

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

The vacant home issue that is the result of speculators is not as big of a problem in much of the US. Property taxes discourage leaving a house vacant as you have to pay taxes on the property so if you don’t live in it or don’t rent it out, you paying a lot of taxes with no earnings to offset.

[@Fitzwewels]

You didn’t mention rent control. My cousin has a rent controlled apartment in Paris and he only pays 100 euros a month for it, but he and his fiancé only stay in it when they have work there. They live half the length of the country away, primarily.

[@Yume_Val]

I haven't noticed anything that looks to be suspiciously similar to other videos, so congratulations on your authentic work
