For real. So jealous of Paris.
But where are all the poor cars going to park now? Won't anybody think of the cars?
Undeniably better in every way but it does bother me one pic is more saturated so it pops more
Likely just a factor of using a modern cellphone camera for the latter shot. They apply various "enhancements" on their own.
And the before shot is taken from Google Mapsβ streetview.
The first round of the Paris mayor election was today. And Emmanuel Gregoire came in first (36%); he is the successor to Hidalgo. There will be a runoff with him and Rachida Dati (24%) right-wing and a macroniste and left wing candidate as well (they got more like 10-15% each).
So depending on who turns out second round and the vote share dynamics we will probably see more of this continuing :)
Crazy to vote for Rachida Dati when we all know she should be in jail.
Gorgeous. I'd love to see a long term study in 10 years or so on the health of residents in the area. I'd bet that you see all sorts of small improvements.
Please take down your post, it's illegal to campaign on the election day
