I wonder how many of those poor immigrants who live in this public housing to serve wealthy Parisians would prefer to live in something like an American suburb if they could get jobs there.
Probably none. I'd much prefer to be poor in Paris than America. https://homelessdeathscount.org/ (arrogent domain given it's a USA count) https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/dying-on-the-streets-franc... Even adjusted for population size, we're still talking 2-3x the death rate if homeless. > Acolin notes that France has roughly as many social housing dwellings as the United States, despite having less than one-fifth…
Sorry I couldn't help it. Comparing an EU member state to the US is akin to comparing a US state to the EU. These are big places and Paris and even France are a very, very small part. Europe has some real, real crappy places that really, really mess up Europe's statistics. Once places like Bosnia and Ukraine get in, the stats will get even worse. I doubt Romanian and Ukrainian social spending is very high. Compare to US states and cities in you're comparing EU states and cities, and comparable ones.
