Abstract: Still not stabilized, despite the many legal measures already taken, the housing issue is a recurrent problem for the authorities. Housing the underserved is not quite enough. They need to be given the opportunity to gain real control over their living environment, which implies a certain capacity of choice and regulatory authority. Fond of nothing so much as clear-cut concepts and clearly identifiable notions, Western law, draped in its Cartesian rationality, values this fleeting (but o so fruitful) notion of mastery. Hence the difficulty in pinpointing it in our juridical catalogue.
