I think there's general consensus that you can't do anything about this. Paris probably has the best contiguous big city urbanity of any city on earth, and it would be a tragedy if this were threatened.

I think most would prefer Paris become a "golden ghetto" as opposed to wrecking the urban form. I certainly have no problem with this; the RER is excellent and no one has a right to a living unit in the center.
