Yellow Vests - Week 17
17 weeks and still at it although the numbers are down. The press tends to focus on Paris but there are demonstrations all over the country and plans to go to CDG. My wife tracks cavaton apartment rental rates and they are down through August, which is when Europe goes on vacation. The UN has called for an investigation of police violence and their use of crowd dispersing rubber ball grenades. If you want to gauge the extent of the protests, on Saturday morning pull up Paris on Google maps and activate the traffic function. You will be able to see the road closures due to the marches.

Interesting that the UN is now getting involved... One wonders what brought that on?
Meanwhile France is mobilizing military soldiers to "maintain order" during upcoming yellow vest protests. https://www.france24.com/en/20190320-france-deploy-troops-maintain-security-during-yellow-vest-protests
