This page concludes a Swiss series on cross-border regions published in Le Courrier in the fall of 2012. It is an investigative report carried out in neighboring France. It highlights the collateral effects of the development of the Franco-Vaud-Geneva conurbation on the French workforce. It shows the consequences of exporting the Geneva housing crisis, with the massive influx of Swiss people settling in France, and the difficulties French municipalities have in addressing the problem. The page was published with another complementary page written by colleagues with an interview and cultural article.
