LEA TOM AND ORDERED BY THE STATE TO BECOME SDF!
In a housing shortage! In an economic crisis!
The housing situation in Ariege is catastrophic; impossible to find rentals in the department, so that rural areas is undergoing desertification, wealthy tourists scoop on real estate. Young workers, socially integrated! Young people who have chosen to live in rural areas, so that revitalize the countryside! Youth deeply involved in a process of ecological habitat and preservation of nature!
were condemned by the State before the Correctional Court of Foix in the destruction of their habitat, a fine of 600 € and 10 € per day late fee. Their
CRIME: choosing Living in a tent (yurt) rather than die of cold outside!
They appeared at trial Feb. 9, 2010 following a complaint by DDEA * (a public service!) On the basis of articles of the Town Planning Code for a violation of building permits. They call and demand the right to relax and habitat SMALL ECOLOGICAL AND CHOSEN! the right to live, the right to work locally!
Unable to find a home, Leah and Tom, who live and work in Ariège decided in 2007 to settle in a tent, a yurt. An owner Toulouse lends them his land fallow in the middle timber in exchange for clearing and maintenance of the plot. They make a perfectly round tent, a yurt in wool and wood, they cut the felt to the mill in the Dordogne Belvès; chestnut poles are local, a master carpenter circle shapes the roof, the centerpiece ...
addition to the maintenance of the plot, they highlight the place, creating terraces to cultivate a garden and a garden ...
This was a long process of several months with a more than positive: the creation of a habitat well integrated into the landscape, with no environmental impact or quasi-zero on a site where biodiversity has been recreated (orchids grow back on the field!).
Tom and Lea chose to live there and work in the surrounding region, modestly, in an ecological and in the greatest respect for nature. They are well integrated locally: hosted and supported by the mayor and residents of the town, they registered as voters and asked to pay local taxes.
The inhabitants of the town's support since the beginning, a motion for the right to housing has even been passed by the council in response to the injunctions of DDEA *.
But it's probably too good! We must strive to destroy these initiatives (QED)! That is what will make the state utilities, in this case * DDEA which bases its complaint on the Planning Code on the pretext of the need for a building permit when the yurt is not a construction, not a building, not a permanent building with foundations! There are no walls ... TENT is a wool and wood! So habitat reversible, leaving no lasting imprint on the ground. You do not build a tent, it does not destroy a tent: you mount and unmount!
Moreover, there is a legal vacuum regarding this form of housing is not provided for in that town planning code. We remain stunned at the fury of public services in this matter, "when one knows what may otherwise be violations of the Town Planning Code! ...
Inouï the fate of the elected local small rural communities! The ruling ignores the position of mayor of the town, its city council and residents. What is decentralization? What about the revitalization of rural areas? What's territorial equity !
This file is the problem of housing rights, in particular the right of people of modest means in a context of severe economic crisis. Not only the amount of rent is prohibitive to build more than 50% of revenues from the smallest of us but in some areas dedicated to tourism as Ariege, it is IMPOSSIBLE to find accommodation ... What it's RIGHT TO HOUSING?
It also raises the issue of RIGHT TO WORK, right to shelter when it participates in local wealth through his work: how to hold jobs, be flexible, mobile ... how to create a business ... if it has no roof for shelter, and around which radiate?
Young people who choose to live within their duty in terms of ecology and nature conservation are convicted and punished by the state Corrections as criminals instead of being encouraged to support these initiatives!
So we must remind the government bonds it has set itself on the right to housing and the environment!

few reminders:
REMINDER! That the Secretary of State himself who said last June:
"Our goal is simple: give our citizens the opportunity to choose where they live, the space in which they wish to settle, and the living environment that befits each flourish. Better use of space involves taking into account the need to restrict the brakes that often block a project. On the ground, how many of you have faced situations grotesque, related to complexity, inconsistencies and sometimes local and national regulations? In the Grenelle 2, several provisions are consistent with a facilitation, including strengthening the project of general interest, or order to simplify the right soil. "
" Our challenge? Reconcile the logical development and housing with that of the sustainable management of our natural resources "
(Excerpt from press release Benedict Appeared, Secretary of State for Housing Wednesday, June 2, 2010 in Paris)
REMINDER! extracted from the environmental charter :
" Article 1. - Everyone has the right to live in a balanced environment and health friendly.
Article 2. - Everyone has a duty to take part in the preservation and improvement of the environment.
Article 3. - Every person must, under the conditions defined by law, prevent attacks that may bring to the environment or, failing that, limit the consequences.
Article 6. - Public policies must promote sustainable development. To this end, they reconcile the protection and enhancement of the environment, economic development and social progress. "
