By comparison i live in a 750 Ft² (69.68. M²). Its a 1 bdr 1 (small) bath with a galley kitchen and open floor design of living/dining/entryway area. BUT i don't live anywhere NEAR as exciting as Paris; so there's the huge trade-off, right out of the gate!! Would I swap for 7M²? I don't know,but probably. Columbus, Ohio is the most BORING city on the planet, so one must pay for one's situation SOMEHOW! Parisians live in tiny spaces BUT they live in THE MOST glamorous city in the world! (I've visited; I KNOW!)
the intent of durov is to protect user's right to privacy, not to do illegal activity. some people died for liberty and these authoritarian aholes aim to take it away
Thank you for your explanation. I think it is very likely that there is also a political dimension to this. Durov tried to meet with Putin before he was arrested, and Telegram is also *the* messenger in Russia, also used heavily by the Russian army, and when it comes to security interests, the French authorities are known to go overboard with legal threats, and I know that from cases that happened to people and organizations I know personally. In the end these cases went nowhere, but people were raided and arrested, and in one case the French managed to have the German police to conduct a raid on servers operated by a German party, who offered anonymous Etherpads, and some people had used it to discuss actions against French nuclear power plants, and the French seemed to know how to make the German authorities act quickly. In the end, nobody was charged or convicted, but it worked pretty well as an intimidation, so I believe that this is what is going on. In general, Telegram does react to inquires by authorities and closes user accounts and removes content, especially when it comes to CP, so I believe this arrest is also mainly about intimidation and getting more control over Telegram's activities. Telegram is based in Dubai btw, and Durov is not a friend of Putin and not under his control, but also does not want to alienate him too much, and has to walk a fine line between Russia and West, and I think the West got scared when they heard that Durov wanted to meet with Putin in Aserbaidschan, but Putin said they did not meet, although Durov went there when Putin was visiting, so this whole thing is not a baseless conspiracy theory, but looks quite plausible to me.
He was on he's way for a dinner with Macron after invitation. He walked of he's plane and boom in jail. He's arrest is because of he don't wan't to share data. Ther's no crime. The French have committed an vile attack on free speech
FYI, it's illegal in France for a landlord to rent a room under 9m². Some people do not have a choice (like no papers) or do not know but... This is illegal. This is considered like unsanitay housing. And there is some other rules like : the room should have a window that open on the outside, etc.
so they cant stay in those apartments and need to pay more for bigger space? they have no money lol it just make them homeless. any home is better then no home
It's the same here in Poland- because we don't have regulated housing laws as we should have, flippers will buy a 40m2 flat and will divide it from two to even 4 rooms if it's possible and will expect you to pay the price equal to renting whole flat. And the government will do NOTHING to stop this procedure- especially that more than half of the landlord do not report their lease agreements to the tax office so they don't pay their taxes. Microapartments are absolute plague- especially that now getting mortgage is absolutely impossible and usually homes and flats that are something bigger than a shoebox will cost from 1 mil up.
Ah aaaah! That’s why people always ask me if I am on holidays, as I have a rather constantly joyful nature. When you managed to remain alive with luch struggle, I guess every moment is a gift. If more people « crossed the river », they too would be happy every day. How can one be so often inexpressive or express sadness so often? That’s an insult to the gift of life. Face your demons, for God’s sake!
I only saw women in elegant clothes in Marseilles, not in Paris. Or maybe my standards are way too high? Parisien women and girls simply: don’t care. They go around in very crap clothes, jeans and T-shirts and sneakers, ballerines or big manly shoes. Wear those big shoes while wearing an ordinary comfortable dress. Those showing off and very elegantly dressed up, obviously are not from here. Dressed up is very « mauvais goût » in Paris.
7:28 This Leandre, with his €2400 per month! Why does he try a close city in the green suburbs? Meulon Val Fleury, and many on the Western side of Paris, are very cute. The nightmare is: Issy Sur Seine: I passed by recently and from the train windows, I felt like in a modern Koon-Loon.
I heard a story told by a man working in an embassy in Delhi. He saw, as usual, a family on the street near the embassy but that time there was police and it seemed there was a problem. So he approached the police and asked what was up. They told him the family didn't pay (!!!) for their homeless spot. Over there, you have to pay in such a prime area - embassies mean a lot of food in garbage. 😢 I have to tell you, all these things are very sad. We can fly to the Moon but people live worse than some animals, some even starving.
Someone commented on the copycat dorm rooms across the USA. However I saw the exact same construction, concrete building 2 dorm beds facing a window and shared bath between 2 units in Croatia and Germany... Wow..hilarious
The spaces may be tiny but seem to represent difference between a roof over their head or the street. It's not ideal but the alternative is much worse.
And yet the rest of France has endless empty homes. I walked thru Angouleme recently, and most of the buildings seemed to be vacant. It was depressing.
"This is all that he/she can afford." IN _PARIS._ These people COULD EASILY GO ELSEWHERE. And should. This is no way to live. And WTH with all of those EMPTY APARTMENTS - WHY?!? That's a crime in itself! Merde!
All these stories are so interesting and very similar. When I was in university in Montreal, my apartment was extremely small, just a kitchen, small bedroom and bath. It was cramped but compared to these Paris apartment it was great. I think we adjust much better when we are very young. I could never live like that now.
Those poor chickens. I feel bad for the people as well but they may actually be able to leave someday. Those chickens are stuck there until they're slaughtered
In Seattle, microapartments must be at least 150 square feet but rent out for about $700-$900. The average is size of those type of units is 175 square feet and these types of developments have communal kitchens and often communal bathrooms as well. For a bit of context, the average Seattle new apartment is 659 square feet. The most cramped housing in the entire US.
I don't know if she would agree😀 In her book she tells that she used to look quite punk back at school )

@@pariscape But that's not the image on her book or how she looks now. I have her book and it's an interesting read but given that I'm in Australia, I can honestly say that everything about her way of behaving, talking, presenting herself is aspiring to be that cliche Parisian. She is sticking to that script, which is fine but then don't pretend to contradict it
O Progressismo é uma Desgr aça! O Estado NÃO PODE interferir no Mercado e na Propriedade Privada. A inveja, a truculência e o autoritarismo andam de mãos dadas neste movimento esquerdopata. O imóvel deve ser tratado de acordo com a conveniência do seu proprietário!
