Anyone who tries to pull their own roof down over their head is a fool IMO regardless of how cleverly they have couched their words.

“tiny expensive old apartments that are falling apart”
I think you have found the key.
A lot of Europe has residential issues as repairs had to take a back seat to taxes.
In many cases, this can be shocking.
The typical kitchen was renovated, somewhat, sometime after 1945.

You are right. And when you look more closely, there is little secret about the long term intent. It is to deliberately undermine the qualities that make any nation unique.

I’ve visited France 5 times in my life. The most recent was 3 years ago.
As you stated, apartments (or le lofts’) start at $2000, and those are NOT in the “no go zones”. Just asked around the Champs within 5 mile radius out of curiosity. The bellboy PLEADED not to hang around the DSLR camera around the neck or it WILL be stolen. I guess he helped us because of the large tip we gave him.

Macron is a moron. His idiocy on Nationalism vs Patriotism while trashing the American President hopefully will be his beheading.

France has been sold out by its ruling elite. Not to just any immigrant group. Almost any immigrants could have worked their way peacefully into French society except the one hostile and aggressive, viciously anti_Christian group thats taking over France now. The religion of piece. First they take this piece of your country, then the rest of it.

I like how “House Hunters - International” has Americans who go abroad to pay $1,700-$2,500 for an apartment or rent a house and they “hope to get a job” while they’re there.
Of course, they most usually want to be near the bars and the night life.
Guess it’s all fun as long as the money lasts.

Typically if you rent an apartment in Europe it comes unfurnished.
Meaning you have to supply your own fridge, stove/oven etc. in addition to furniture.
The apartment is essentially a shell
