    Beats American style suburb 8/10 times IMHO

    Only if you’re lucky enough to live in one of the few well-maintained ones. At least in Russia, many are falling apart with loose handrails, water damage, sketchy elevators and mold.

      That’s because Russian regime is even more retarded then what we got in the US…

      Although looking at Florida condos… Maybe not lol

      Snark a side… the issue is maintenance not the design

      Not only in Russia. Lived in one. Cockroach problem was constant. But overall, if you modernize them, they are great.

      Handrails and elevators can be replaced during building repair. In mine and my grandma’s homes elevators were replaced somewhere in 2008-2015. Not so sure about water damage and mold.
