It notably mentioned a surcharge on insurance related, according to him, to the increase in looting episodes, the cost of a private school for his children, distant housing, and security systems, as well as health, cafeteria, daycare, and transportation expenses, which he claimed he had to pay at full price. The account also mentioned a six-month wait to see a specialist, a car that had become expensive due to ecological standards, thousands of euros in fuel taxes, and the contribution to the funding of social housing in his building.
