Known as “Bobos” in France — short for bourgeois-bohemian — young hipsters are finding it increasingly more difficult to maintain their lifestyles in the French capital and, as a result, many are packing up their bags and heading elsewhere, Paris Zigzag reports.
Between 2009 and 2014, the city saw 14,000 Parisians leave the city and head into the provinces for a different lifestyle, with more and more Parisians saying they would rather live in the countryside.
In March, a study by L’observatoire société et consommation (L’OBSOCO/Society and Consumption Observatory), found that 72 per cent of residents in the French capital thought a lot about living somewhere else, while 82 per cent said they would like to live in a small village in the countryside. ...
Previously, Bobos were seen as members of the “elite” with solid educations and well-paying jobs, but now the new term “Paubo” — short for pauvre-bourgeois or poor-bourgeois — has become common as new graduates struggle to find affordable housing within the city.
Security is also a major issue, with around 48 per cent of Parisians saying they have been the victim of a robbery or assault in the last three years.
The situation is particularly bad for women, who are targetted for sexual assaults on French capital’s Metro subway and on the street. A report released in March highlighted a 30 per cent increase in sexual assaults on the Metro in 2018 alone, with over 1,000 cases reported.
In 2018, mobile phone app developer Fabien Boyaval went as far as designing an app to help chaperone women travelling around the city, to lessen the risk of them being victims of robberies or sex attacks.

If people are fleeing Paris then I would think, the cost of living is going down there.
I bet, people are fleeing Paris because of the crime, but not because of the cost of living.
That’s and old map. Much of that “hood” area is now hipster.
“Isn’t the purpose of a city, a country to protect the interests of the people within - the citizens?”
I always thought it was for welfare and to fund ‘the arts’, you know paying people to have babies and not work. Mutual protection, what a joke! There weren’t any threats back then.
Obviously I’m kidding (just spouting what the Democrats actually do think). I’m watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix, it is about the unification of Great Britain over 1000 years ago, it is OUTSTANDING, and yes, raids were savage and happened without warning, over and over.
“...which showed where the bad neighborhoods were in various cities? This is one of those verboten subjects, which everyone thinks about but people are afraid to talk about.”
Not only afraid, but FORBIDDEN to talk about.
“It occurs to me this observation bears considerable reflecting on and thinking about.”
Heck, I’ve thought about it just regarding Los Angeles. Like most cities it was built from the center-out. Now the places left to live (which aren’t many) are either 40 to 60 miles from the center (towards the northwest and southeast), or in very, very, expensive enclaves which have both the money and political power to stay reasonably safe (areas of the West Side, Beverley Hills, etc.).
That’s it - the rest is simply GONE.
From roughly the same period, Netflix has a hilarious Vikings series called Norsemen.
Sounds like they cannot compete with all the other bums.
“Yo, gimme yo money!”

Hipsters, just like a virus, destroy where they are and when it is sufficiently destroyed, they move on to the next place and destroy that place as well.

Huh???? The Sumerians, Egyptians and indus valley folks were not pale skins.
The "whites" i.e. pale skinned Europeans were the original barbarians (bah-bah speakers) to the Greeks.
From the 1500s to the 1900s Europeans went into other continents, so no "white flight"
That’s the purpose of a country, but not necessarily its pols.
Which is why pols like sheeple.
Sheeple will eat their crap sandwiches and like them.
It’s healthy for a government to be a little afraid of its citizenry.
The EU is what happens when it’s not.
It’s not about color.
It’s about culture.
And while people are equal, cultures are not.
Doesnt seem to mention the reason they are being sexually assaulted.
Also I understand there was an app in the US that helped keep people away from dangerous areas.
I am not sure it can be accessed anymore.
Considered racist, although it was designed and predicated on crime stats not skin color.
