I can save them a lot of trouble - your problem is the war-mongering, non-assimilating Muslims you have living in those projects.

[lastmanstanding]

Yeah, but Muslims have Europe in their grasp now. Everybody's too afraid of being called racist or (gasp!) conservative for demanding that they shed the failed cultures from whence they sprang.

I feel the same way whenever I see a flag from a third world hellhole dangling from the rear view mirror of an AMERICAN CAR on an AMERICAN STREET!

Lefty/Liberals have sown the seeds of their own inevitable destruction.

The question now is whether people with good sense (such as conservatives)can escape being dragged into oblivion along with them.

Mantes-La-Jolie's Val-Fourre district, known just a decade ago as France's meanest suburb, has been engaged in an urban renewal program that encourages home ownership.

"Encouraging" home ownership is a fool's errand when applied to generations accustomed to being provided everything because they are "entitled" to it.

Isn't insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?

The root problem is attitude. The triumph of "rights" over obligations; the abandonment of the simple concept that if you don't work, you starve.
The "for the chil'run" crowd is the eternal scam. If a family is totally on welfare, all but one of the adults must work, or the state feeds the children --- away from "home" --- where the adults can't help themselves to the food. Strange, that we should worry about the children starving, but the "parents" are not obligated to...

A similar story can be told about San Francisco, California. A well-known developer erected two identical high-rise residential buildings. On in Hunter's Point, a sad part of San Francisco, where it would encourage "upgrading" of the neighborhood. The other on Green Street, in a tony neighborhood near Nob Hill.

Predictably, no normal persons would buy the units in Hunter's point (who wants to live in a mugger's paradise?). It then was used as "subdidized housing", aka a vertical ghetto. No expectations were put in place, only "rights". Drugs, mayhem and vandalism were rampant.
The building was demolished less than 20 years later.

Meantime, the identical Green Street units are all worth in excess of $1 million.

It's not rocket science.

i live in a wood stick house that's OVER 100 years old... and with a little care will last another 100 years. of course nobody gave me my house either, i had to work for it!!! hummmm... now there's a concept the frogs might try.

[Capt. Tom]

The idea, still uncommon in France, is to give residents a sense of having a stake in society — something that has been woefully lacking in derelict publicly run residential complexes.

That's why they are in your country -to put a stake in your infidel society. - Tom

Does this graffiti mean that it's time to move?
