2 problems:
- That housing costed more average Ivan wages than the same after the collapse of USSR.
- Most of it wasn't actually sold hence the fun for inhabitants [sic] to prove their right to own it.
- __loam 3y agoYeah man you'll note I explicitly mentioned how things went to shit after the collapse.
- chupasaurus 3y ago"Housing became cheaper and affordable = things went to shit" doesn't adds up.
- __loam 3y ago"Homelessness jumped substantially" is not "Housing became cheaper and affordable". It was all state owned lol, what does affordability even mean in that context? I'm just saying they built more housing than they needed and housed everyone and that was good. The Soviet economy itself was fucked (20% of gdp on defense spending!), and after the collapse housing did obviously become more expensive (ie, not free).
