Jim, I know Paris well, and my Ivorian brother-in-law lives in a slum tower block out in the 'banlieues' (St Denis), with numerous other immigrants and poor folk. They are a hell-hole, and there must be dozens of these buildings on the outskirts of all the major cities in Europe, not to mention around the world.
The amazing Stade de France in St Denis was built in 1995, at a cost of millions, while the unwanted and neglected immigrants and poor people continue to live crammed together in these festering abominations in the locality.
It worries me that (God forbid) there may be other terrible fires one day due to the sub-standard cladding and non-existent fire precautions. I imagine it's only a matter of time.
