Taking a cab or uber from Charles De Gaulle airport to the city, you have to pass through this area (fortunately on highway). Omnipresent grafitti and decay.
Because it's not their properties. People are just neither respectful nor grateful of what's not theirs, especially if it was handed for no reason. See: people making awful decisions with government handouts, aka "not-your-money."
I've been to Paris not to long ago and was in one of these areas for a while.
You have a huge number of Africans many or most of which do not have education, skills, etc.
They just loiter around in huge numbers like squatters. It's like a huge refugee camp though there is moderate at best sense of order.
It's turning Paris gradually into a slum. The situation is absurd as they have been allowed to grow to the extent that you would need to send in the army to clear them out.
Imagine hypothetically if a couple million random Russians just turned up in Washington DC to make their home.

With this group, it would make NO difference if they owned the properties or not.
“Omnipresent graffiti and decay” <—- that’s a racist way to say “art”

Not exactly. The illegal immigrants are considered a higher form of life to the natives.
Imagine what France of two centuries ago would do about this. Or three, or four, or five, and so on.
When I traveled into Paris, by bus, in the fall of 2002 I got to see all of this nice and close. I wondered where the hell I was.
