It's a party in Cannes! High season has arrived, and rental prices are going through the roof in the French Riviera hotspot during the Cannes Film Festival. Expertimo reports a 130-square-meter apartment on the Croisette can fetch up to 800 euros daily 💰, while Magrey & Sons list apartments near the Palais des Festivals from 2,500 to 25,000 euros per week! But it's not just the film fest that's driving these remarkable rentals 🏠 — other events are piling on the pressure, too.
Property Owners Get Their Wish. On May 13th, Eric Ciotti, deputy, tabled a bill intended to shake up the housing market. Measures include reducing the time needed to circumvent real estate capital gains tax to 10 years from the current 22, and instating a so-called "moratorium" on restrictions on renting inefficient properties 🏠💡.
From Smart Meters to Smart Choices. 95% of French households sport a Linky meter, leaving around 2 million behind. Until August 1, 2025, they could submit their consumption index once a year in blissful ignorance. But that's all about to change ❌. After that date, fees will be charged for reading meters, and many are questioning the necessity of adopting the tech ⁉️ Beyond the 2 million refuseniks, there lies an intricate morass of misgivings, privacy concerns, and cost-motivated refusals. Some questions remain 🤔:
- Who owns the data?service providers, or consumers? 📊
- What are the costs and benefits of implementation? Is it a money-saver for consumers or just another headache, adding to the financial burden of maintaining a home 🏡?
- Do the pros outweigh the cons for consumers and the environment? Some argue the positives lie in overall energy efficiency and cost savings, while others dispute the data, maintaining the technology isn't as green as it's purported to be 💡☢️
The Age of Wisdom... or Discarding? In corporate terms, employees reach "senior" status at 52, according to the latest "Work in Transition" survey 👴💼. Though this age is quite a bit lower than the overall societal perception of being elderly at 57, the discrepancy highlights the struggle older workers face when finding new employment ☹️. In April, a UNEDIC study found job stability remains a challenge after age 56 📈.
