My Housing Estate is going under, four years later | la suite | France 2

More than four million French are waiting to be allotted public housing accommodation. In Marseilles, four years ago, thieves stripped the roofs of the Laurier estate of their metal and the tenants stood by helplessly as they watched their surroundings deteriorate. In Paris the lack of housing made abuses and preferential treatment all the more intolerable, while in the inner suburbs, residents of an estate slated for demolition were fighting against their expulsion, which would profit a private real estate project.
