^ The French are stingy like the Italians and won't spend too much of their money in their well being because they fear tomorrow, which is a pity, pathetic. They're like - I need a lot of saved money in case I'd go broke in a near future. That's the common mindset. They are scared, then they save their money.
Many landlords in Paris are mere crooks. They would lease a cupboard full of cockroaches for the price of luxury amenities.
But not all are that way. I saw some who actually care about their tenants and do what's necessary for their comfort. They take it as a matter of honor.
So there's hope in that respect.
That being said, the French are "very good savers". Local bankers make fun of them for that.
