flashyfaffe2··on Cédric Villani: mathematician challenging to be Paris mayor
Not radical changes but just expect some common sense being applied. Over the last decade housing prices has doubled and the city receives a small percentage for each transactions. However this money did benefit only for the whole community but rather for clientlism. Debt has been getting higher and so the taxes. Driving has been made impossible and restaurants are too expensing for the similar service and quality you can get in London ( where I live now). Even the nightlife has been restricted Paris is becoming a big sleepy museum where only real Parisians do appreciate the lifestyle. Again I more disappointed here by the lack original idea And innovation promised by the candidate not by the mathematician. If you look at what the current mayor propose and you will find nothing that different.

However I'm sure you will enjoy your Parisian experience, despite all the inconvenience, Paris is still a beautiful city.

Being a former Parisian, I can object here you can be a medal fields winner and not having a clue about economic problem. Paris is facing quite sensible issues right now ( higher debt, untidy streets, insecurity,etc...) and for now all he's proposing here is very similar to what any others politician would offer to get elected. Parisians need some radical changements and for now I haven't heard anything from him tackling the right issues but just big promises and gifts for all ( please note that this also applies to the others candidates as well).
