Ils construisent. And then loud silence. It's a compact, charged stand. Under construction. The house, of course. Everyone knows what it means. At best, they have received a piece of land that will allow them to continue to weave the landscape, as a moth, by air. In most cases, they have been in lengthy proceedings, notaries, requests for authorization, linking credit dossiers, monitoring and direction of red visualization work over the next two years, giving most of the monthly remuneration to the bank to cover the debt. They're creating a good. They will join the model that, in short, is that of the old house, in the center of the village. The dream of the owners of the 20th century: social causation is the denial of the house. Post yesterday. The illusion of today.

Surely they're going to be the last. Maleruski, from now on there will be few, almost none. From here will be good among the remains of others.

There's more to it and less waste. And there's the question.

The issue of housing and land use in recent weeks.

There are many homeowners who are not ashamed of selling at the highest price. They say that shoppers have reached the mile this year. Renters are exhausted as soon as they appear. The first pressure was on the coast, now all shoppers compete with each other anywhere. There is nowhere to live.

The consequences of the health situation have brought the issue back to the surface. They go back to the painted ones that indicate that Euskal Herria is not on sale. Empty houses are marked with red paint. The Etxalde association has published price developments putting the networks on fire. If it is an apartment project of a few square meters and at an incredible price in Monbar accommodation, and residences of millions of euros above Lohitzun. Coastal towns lose population. Tomorrow the classes, the services, the shops will be paired.

The real estate companies agree: they are witnesses of unpublished petitions and have a typical offer in their hands. Indeed, the problem of the last 50 years in the Northern Basque Country was, for example, one of the main IK claims lines and to date has always been present sporadically at the forefront of the present day, either with the denunciation of certain projects or in limited term dynamics. Because what can be done to end such a developed trend on such a small surface? What to do against the frenzy of sales? What changes are there when apartments are preferred to rent weekly to tourists than to the workers here? I do not know whether in Iparralde there will be so many structures and associations, both institutional and popular, to address the issue of housing. In Bizkitarte, the entire population continues to suffer when it comes to housing.

The challenges are very diverse, such as price control, the paralysis of the territory, the possibility of people living here, the compromise between private law and the collective interest, the avoidance of massacres. There is talk, as in other territories, of legal solutions, of the existence of the right to property under certain conditions, which would go against private law absolutely, of the delimitation of buildable lands, which could still entail a higher price increase among them, of collective properties… And always the same question: Isn't it too late now? Will they have a return to the imperfections of a century?

Every morning I have my heart with those of Aroztegi, with intermittent light.
