Title: Paris to San Francisco
Review: Having just finished reading "Paris, paris" I recommend it with great enthusiasm. As a 20+ year resident of San Francisco and a 30+ year visitor to Paris, I was pleased with a San Francisco native's take on Paris. They are my two favorite cities in the world; OK Venice is right up there too.I am particularly fond of the Marais, which is described in intelligent and insightful detail. The description of the "gentrification" of the Marias is particularly compelling and I find striking overlap to a similar transition in the Mission District of San Francisco. Like the Mission and Marais, I'm certain that there are countless neighborhoods around the globe facing similar challenges. I applaud this book for the effort to make us all stop and think of the consequences. In the end however, "plus a change, plus c'est la mme chose".
