The government promised housing elsewhere. We followed the buses and found a desperate situation.

The government denies that the busing is connected to the Olympics. But we obtained an email, which was first reported by the newspaper L’Équipe, in which a government housing official said the goal was to “identify people on the street in sites near Olympic venues” and move them before the Games.

      Please don’t damage the environment, even if it is a prestige project by the government.

        Actually holding public goods hostage is OK if it’s the only way to get other people to do what you want

          But this isn’t holding hostage, it’s revenge.

          Holding something important - such ad the environment - hostage when the chance of the government complying are zero - not close to zero - is not OK.

          Although I consider it to be OK if it’s something unimportant, like bus they will be forced on.
