Intriguing place...what sort of people live there now? If they have an influx of cheap housing what happens to the current residents? How is the general infrastructure...transport, schools and services? Why have you designated this town as "assassinated"...?

Assassinated by the Paris Airports Authority. It was a totally normal village before they built the airport, and then 90% of the houses were insidiously purchased and walled up.

I had forgotten about this thread. Just having a quick look on google, I found that in 2015 the town hall was refusing building permits for repairing houses, waiting instead for them to fall down.

Probably wise, otherwise speculators would buy the properties at rock-bottom prices and sell them at a handsome profit to NIMBYs who would immediately agitate to have the airport shut down on account of the noise.

Not sure they can do so. When we bought our house in Toulouse, we were diagonally opposite the airport, on the other side of the city. But in the buying papers, we had to sign that we would not do anything against the airport, overflights, etc.
What could be done is those houses be bought by public housing and renovated and sold or rented to lower-income people who cannot afford to buy anywhere that close to the city -- airport runways or not.
