I'd say that in Paris, a referral is necessary and often sufficient. Le "piston". In SF, it's often necessary and hardly ever sufficient.

The whole system is completely corrupted, people are used to get "passe-droit" (not sure about the translation) for anything, and even the top Political leaders are acting this way. Politician asking cops not to be fined for something illegal they just did, a friend of a friend asking the School President to let their kid attend their school, etc. The whole French society is based on this. Many say it's a Monarchy, and not a Republic.
