Hipsters Fleeing Paris Due To Crime and Cost of Living
Breitbart ^ | 7/27/2019 | Chris Tomlinson

Posted on 07/27/2019 6:46:26 AM PDT by Its All Over Except ...

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.

Does that sound plausible to anyone? 12+ million people in the Paris area, so almost 6 million cases of robbery/assault? 5000+ each and every day? C'mon!

If you can’t go out without a 50 50 shot at being assulted it’s time to start thinning the mob.

So very French; fleeing what they had a big hand in destroying.

Islam will see to it that the French are punsihed until Charles Martel returns... and until we have a real Christian pope.

There’s no where else to escape. It’s at a tipping point. Will we fight back or lie down?

In my opinion, Islam will create another s***hole. Doubtful that America will save France again.

Ironically “white flight” has been necessitated by policies instituted by whites themselves, usually the ones first fleeing - the holier-than-thou crowd.

Here’s a great video dramatizing such repugnant whites.

I recall a similar survey done in the San Francisco Bay Area, which showed over 1/3 of people there wanted to move away.

Yet, only a small percentage of people actually end up moving away. While many complain about traffic, high housing prices, and other social problems, relatively few seem to actually abandon the big cities which have such problems .

“We’ve turned the other cheek and white flighted ourselves into a corner. There’s no where else to escape. It’s at a tipping point. Will we fight back or lie down?”

Unfortunately the cause of this disaster has been whites themselves. Bussing, integration, civil” rights”, affirmative action, social justice are all ideas and programs brought about and instituted by feeble minded, holier-than-thou, virtue signaling whites.

So if we’re going to fight back, our first tardet needs to be our own fifth column.

In a city the size of Paris, 14K over five years is nothing. They have probably been replaced three or four fold by street people and othe immigrants.

I hear Prague is a nice place to tour this time of year.

Prague is truly beautiful. Any time of year. But I wouldn't go now it's too crowded in August and AC is still a rare luxury there. I would wait till September or October. Great beer and the Czechs love to drink it.

This article starts with a ridiculous premise. There can’t be any crime in Paris. They’re not allowed to have guns.

“It occurred to me several months ago that really, just about all of human history has been “white flight”. It will never end.”

It occurs to me this observation bears considerable reflecting on and thinking about. It is no mean example of an observation on history. (And it’s a damn sight better than anything Marx came up with.)
