...fact is that change was needed -and badly. Few visitors realize that Parisians do not really like to live in tiny walk-up apartments without adequate plumbing. (At last check in 1968, fully one-third of the city's housing lacked private toilets.) Even worse, Paris was clearly being overwhelmed by "le boom." Though the city (pop. 2.5 million) continually loses people to the suburbs (pop. about 7,000,000), the vast majority of jobs are in town. That means commuters and commuters mean cars.

Los Angeles has a dance joint called The Trip, and until recently featured one called Lysergic a Go-Go. "Acid heads" are apt to "turn on" in walk-up pads and ride-up penthouses-but seldom in slums, where people want their escape straight rather than disguised as "insights" or "breakthroughs."
