Lol at Levallois. Their mayor is a damn Conservative thug currently stuck in jail. That's how the town has been so populated and desirable.
He and his wife are quite better off, easy millionaires, and those 2 bastards don't pay their taxes. That's unfair.
Their management of Levallois has also been quite questionable. It is the most indebted municipality of the entire country. Every single dweller in Levallois is in an almost €10k debt because of their mayor, that's just irresponsible. But they don't care about their debt and still fancy their mayor. As if they would never have to pay for it.

What matter is not that much the debt but the capacity of reimbursement.
Levallois is a wealthy muncipality, it has a rather wealthy population and lot of businesses. This means that it has a lot of revenue, even with its big debt Levallois Perret has a much better financial situation than the most of French muncipalities.
Actually the debt of Levallois Perret has decreased significantly since 2008.

As why the inhabitants vote for him, the answer is easy : Clientelism.
Because of its wealth, the municipality of Levallois Perret can give to its inhabitants a lot of services, gifts... while maintening low taxes.
Levallois Perret is still less populated than it was at its peak between the two world war.
In 1926, Levallois Perret had a density of 31,180/km² or 80,800/sq mi.
Back then Levallois Perret was a working class industrial inner suburb. Today Levallois is a wealthy inner suburb with a lot of offices.
