Why would someone living in Paris vote to add a bunch of much poorer suburbs? No doubt the French aren't quite as selfish and individualistic as Americans but I really cannot see this as broadly popular.

And it looks like many of the wealthier western suburbs are left out, which makes one suspect that this is really intended to use Paris' wealth to benefit the most deprived suburbs. For example, it looks like Versailles and vicinity was left out, and that's one of the wealthiest areas in France.
