The mayors of the Côte d'Azur have just received their respective fines for non-compliance with the SRU law. The law imposes between 20 and 25% social housing on their territory.
For the entire metropolis, the amount of penalties amounts to nearly 16 million euros. “It’s state racketeering that doesn’t solve the underlying problem,” said Christian Estrosi, the mayor of Nice. This press conference comes at a time when Gabriel Attal, the new Prime Minister, wants to make housing one of his priorities.
