This map shows the ratio of green space per census tract in the Greater Paris Metropolis. The greener, the higher the % of land area is occupied by green space. The darkest green areas are actually woods and forests.
Then you have tourists who stay only in the redish areas in the center and who conclude that Paris has very little green space.  |
You should be at least consistent: I mentioned how Paris expanded its transit lately and you said that has nothing to do with the city, but with the metro region. And that after saying Paris has became a hellhole due "communist" mayors.
Now you post a map showing clearly how Paris Intramuros are indeed arid, lack of open spaces, trees. Paris has been celebrated precisely for addressing this problem, implanting new gardens, removing parking lots to create small green pockets, planting trees everywhere.
Again, if I live in the 4th arrondissement I don't want to take a subway to go to a far away park. I want to get out home and see trees, gardens, small patches of greenery. That's it. And it's good Paris is improving that.
You have this urge to antagonize everybody even when we're praising the city you're always obsessed with.
