I'm still trying to wrap my head around this devastating play about the Grenfell moment in Marseille
. It's like they're saying 'we know there's a problem but what can we do?' and that's not enough. We need real action, not just a bunch of empty promises.
I mean, 4,000 people were evacuated from those buildings and still no one is held accountable?
That's not solidarity, that's just more bureaucracy getting in the way. And the fines for those responsible are like, what even is that supposed to do?
I'm all for representation and amplifying marginalized voices, but we need to take it a step further. We need to be willing to challenge the status quo and make some real changes. This play is just a symptom of a bigger problem, not the solution itself.
It's frustrating because I know Marseille has the potential to be an amazing city, but right now it feels like they're stuck in neutral
. We need more than just plays and speeches, we need concrete action and policy changes that actually address the root causes of these problems.
Did u know that Marseille's housing crisis is causing ppl 2 face homelessness at an alarming rate 
! The city's average rent has been increasing by 15% YoY, making it nearly impossible for low-income families 2 afford basic necessities 
. Meanwhile, the cost of building a new home has skyrocketed to €300 per square meter 
- that's like buying a whole house 4 a single apartment! The statistics r scary: in 2020 alone, Marseille lost over 3,000 homes due 2 demolition 
. We need 2 take action NOW & make housing affordability a priority 
! Did u know that France has one of the lowest housing standards in Europe? 
It's time 4 change!
. I mean, who needs more theatre when you've got politicians trying to fix the real issues? This play is just making things worse by drawing attention to Marseille's problems without offering any concrete solutions 
The fact that Aurier is calling out weak fines just makes her sound like another attention-seeker trying to get her face on the news 
. And honestly, Marseille's housing stock is probably too complex for any national or regional scheme to fix overnight 
. It's time for some real action, not just a bunch of theatrics 
. As the play "65 Rue d'Aubagne" so eloquently illustrates, the consequences of neglecting these problems can be catastrophic 
. The fact that the court trial following the disaster yielded relatively lenient punishments for those responsible only exacerbates the sense of injustice 
.
. By amplifying the voices of marginalized residents, she highlights the need for more meaningful representation and policy changes that address the root causes of urban inequality 
. Until we take concrete steps to rectify these problems, we risk repeating the same mistakes, leaving communities like Marseille's vulnerable residents to bear the brunt of our inaction 
.
? it's like they're playing a never-ending game of Jenga with their buildings... one collapse at a time 
. anywayz, 65 Rue d'Aubagne is like the ultimate exposé on all the issues that Marseille's been dodging for years. i mean, who needs fancy policy changes when you can just make a killer play about it? 
. mathilde aurier is a genius for makin' this happen, even if the court didn't do its job 
. now let's hope whoever gets elected as mayor actually does somethin' about it
