The French are fleeing. A spate of proposed tax hikes is leading hundreds of wealthy French to consider leaving the country and putting their homes on the market, real-estate agents say. The result: the best opportunity in years for foreigners to buy a Parisian pied--terre or country chteau.
Conspicuously absent, the only number that matters. How many people are actually leaving France because of taxes? Without it the whole story is meaningless. Great reporting job from the WSJ.
