District 13 excellent series of movies shows that council housing ("banlieues") is exactly where these crimes happen.



> Captain Damien must team up with Leito, a local insurgent from District 13, to defuse a neutron bomb that has fallen into the hands of a local drug lord, Taha, and rescue Leito's sister Lola.

This "shows" those things in much the same way that First Contact "shows" how one may convert a Titan missile into a 3-person faster-than-light spacecraft in a post-nuclear-war Bozeman, Montana.


Banlieues are not “council housing”. HLM is council housing. Banlieues literally means suburbs.


Well, suburbs where these social houses are located and where police is afraid to go, stop pretending you dont know what all this is about.
