dont poor people in Paris live on the edges of the city far away from the good jobs downtown and are closer to the highways?
I don't know much about European cities but maybe it's easier to build housing there than it is here because that's always the main issue in north america.
The only reason people live in the suburbs where everyone is forced to drive is because a) housing it cheaper and b) its safer (most EU cities probably dont have anywhere near the crime levels of the US) c) its easier to raise kids because decent schools dont have waiting lists and basic stuff like grocery stores are cheaper
I know it's a meme on Reddit but people living outside metropolitian areas aren't there simply because they are pro-car.
The poor in Paris indeed live far from the center. These suburbs are dreary like most but the French public transit system is good enough that getting to the center areas from many suburb is still relatively quick.
yes but local government regulation prevents it, zoning and other overt policies manufactured suburbia, not supply and demand, while NIBMYism kills any possible development in urban areas or suburbs on the edges of cities
