Bastia council backs new resident status amid second-home debate
Original: résidence secondaire
The municipal council of Bastia, on the French island of Corsica, has voted in favour of creating a resident status, a move aimed at distinguishing permanent locals from secondary-home owners. The vote has drawn attention in France, where second residences ('résidence secondaire') are a hot topic due to housing shortages and rising property prices in tourist regions.
Why now: Debate over second homes and housing access in French tourist areas has put resident-status measures like Bastia's in the spotlight.
