Went to Marseille last year. Don’t know how much it’s changed in the last 10 months, but it was not a hellhole. Even went to some sketch neighborhoods (mostly Muslim), had some very good Algerian food in a restaurant on a rough street.
Lots of North Africans there, but it didn’t seem like they had just gotten there per some Biden-era mass migration. It’s on the Mediterranean, so it’s been more of an organic melting pot for centuries, not some astroturfed putting 20K Haitians into Springfield, Ohio to catastrophic effect.
Maybe it’s worse now, I don’t know. And the streets were dirty, and it was gritty. But the people were much nicer there than anywhere else I’d been to in France. Just my two cents, I was only there for three days, but walked around a lot with my family.
Don’t get me wrong, I want law and order, proper punishments for crime, proper vetting and legal processes for people seeking to immigrate. But I wonder how much of what we hear is exaggerated for effect.
By comparison I found San Francisco to be an actual shit hole when I went there last summer. (Insane people on every street corner, even in pretty nice neighborhoods.)
