Social housing appears to offer a solution for the housing of poor and disadvantaged people. The French "right to housing" offers poor and disadvantaged citizens priority in social housing allocation; and even a legal action against the State to obtain a social home. Despite this; France is suffering a long-lasting housing crisis with disadvantaged people having particular difficulties of access; often despite the efforts of local housing actors. This situation is affected by the European Court of Human Rights and EU decisions limiting diverse national housing and rental policies.Between historic French revolutions and the modern riots; negotiated solutions to social dilemmas emerged. Despite progress in constitutional principles; complex local negotiations still ultimately determine who is housed. Local social landlords; mayors and employee and tenant representatives use their privileges to house their insiders: existing tenants; locals and employees; with rent insufficiently subsidized. lsquo;Insider Outsiderrsquo; theory is used for an economic analysis of exclusion in social housing allocation: its processes; institutional context; and stigmatizing effects. This highlights the spatial effects of nimbyism; excluding disadvantaged outsiders; and concentrating them in deprived areas. Simultaneously; urban regeneration reduced affordable housing stock and lsquo;social mixrsquo; became a reason to refuse a social home.History; comparative law; economic theory and local interviews with housing actors give a detailed picture of what happens in and around French social housing allocation for an interdisciplinary housing policy audience. Constitutional principles appear in an unfamiliar guise as negotiating positions; with the "right to property" supporting landlords and the "right to housing" supporting tenants. French debates about the function of social landlords are echoed across Europe and reflected in European policies concerning rights; and the exclusion of disadvantaged minorities.

Amazing book!!! :)By BeccaIve been wanting to read this book ever since it came out and I truly admired it so much because it helped me understand who she was more as a person and also Chris and who Selena shared her life with. This book touched me so much I tried holding back my tears as I read all the beautiful things she did. I love how Chris described almost every detail about her but I felt like he was rushing telling the story at the end. I would recommend this book to all selena fans out there that want to know her more and I give it five stars because I never read a whole book and I wanted to keep reading each minute of the day. I even wish that it was longer because I dont want to stop reading about the great life of Selenas lol enjoy!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Amazing!By Bella GutierrezSelena is my idol and always has been. I was so excited when I found this book by her husband. It gave me a better insight on who she was from Chris perspective as well as how hard working of a woman she was. It in fact made me think more highly of her as well. I still find it amazing how she is still thought of and remembered even after all this time. she was truly a beautiful and amazing person and I wish this world had given her what she deserved. Selena. I am sorry this world couldnt protect you.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Incredible tribute to the beautiful SelenaBy kristenThis book is an absolute must read for any Selena fan. This book really allows you to see the beautiful person that Selena really was. Selena was much more than just a performer; she was an ambitious. adventure loving girl with a heart of pure gold. She was not perfect. nor did she ever pretend to be. which only makes me love her more. Selena was one of the realest. most genuinely humble people ever. The love story between Selena and Chris is absolutely beautiful; a story of two people who fell in love. and overcame every obstacle in order to fight for that love. This book will make you laugh and smile. while also bringing tears to your eyes. Selena was such a beautiful soul who had so much ahead of her when her life was cut way too short. but I think that she would be so happy to see the impact that she is still having on the world 21 years later.
