FRANCE. Paris. September 29, 2008.
Facing the housing crisis, students and young professionals identify and requisition buildings in Paris beautiful neighborhoods.
It is a luxurious squat for young people who are broke, but don't look like ordinary illegal occupants. Most are students and have small jobs. On Rio-de-Janeiro square, in the very select eighth arrondissement of Paris, they are thirty to occupy in a "bourgeois" way five floors Haussmann buildings. Nothing to do with an alternative place. The outbreak of real estate over the action of the "Jeudi Noir" groupe originated the "Parc Monceau squatters." In ten years, the number of evictions for unpaid rent was multiplied by 2.5.
