    Translation for non-Parisians:

    • Hidalgo is the current mayor of Paris, who has an (arguably false?) reputation for promoting urbanist policies
    • 6e and 18e refer to two districts («arrondissement») in Paris populated by rich people
    • RER B is a transit line connecting central Paris with Parisian suburbs
