It depends on areas indeed. But I think we can make it over Ivry and my Val-de-Marne spot. There's some cool project on the edge of the central city, almost in Ivry-sur-Seine with luxury high-rise condos and all, that's not too far my home. I'm hopeful it won't face too much of NIMBYism, cause we don't have so many landmarks or remarkable things around here.
La Défense is a shitty corporate place, though. Almost every highrise has to go through a whole bunch of legal appeals just because a corporation next door says - no, you won't be taller than me. Crappy private corporate mindset, really.
That's a reason why I sometimes have a feeling that public officials are still actually quite useful, cause their very duty is to serve the community as a whole, and not just particular interests.
It's very interesting to take note of this point.
