Heh, I went on a long rant about the 'Russian Depression' in BFI yesterday. Here are the relevant excerpts.

Things that are -EV in Russia include:

- taking mortgage (the rate is 11% p.a. which is expected to fall to ~8% after the state subsidy is dropped on Jan 1, 2017)

- owning a car (insurance companies and traffic inspectors are corrupt, traffic jams are atrociously long, there's a shortage of free parkings and highways, and increasingly more areas and highways have oversized fees)

- renting out a parking space (most urban car owners park their vehicles chaotically in yards, streets and even sidewalks, not wishing to pay for a parking lot; as a result, parking complexes are semi-empty but streets are filled to the brim with sloppily parked cars)

- having children or renting out to a family with children or a retiree (there's a shortage of free kindergartens, schools and clinics, paid ones are overpriced)

On the positive side, the entry cost [into real estate investment] is really low - a small (20 sq.m. / 220 sq.ft.) studio with semi-reliable public transport communication with Moscow (as in, transport is scheduled, but there's no guarantee that a bus won't get stuck in traffic or that one will be able to stick oneself into a train, think the Tokyo underground) can cost as little as $30K, and people buy and rent such properties readily because of the common poverty.
I need to clarify an inside meme: Russians' normal way to refer to Russia is 'our country'; the phrase 'this country' is used for this purpose only by liberals (or 'liberasts' / 'liberal hamsters', as Putinists call us, liberals) as we're feeling like citizens of the world born into a wrong country, detached from the majority of the people in the country who don't realise what they're doing to themselves.

Also, let me share a photo-report about a peculiar new residential semi-skyscraper at the north of St. Petersburg, posted by a famous liberal urbanist Ilya Varlamov, who calls the house none other than... The Dick House! (The nearby Thong House seen on the satellite map is not a residential but a hospital that was built there long ago.) Of course, the report is in Russian (warning: it and especially the comments contain explicit language) but the pictures alone will let you know that this name is appropriate for the house. Here's the report.

That project is awful, wouldn't want to live there. I hope you didn't planned to buy something like this at least buy an unity with view on the "outside" so your plants can actually get some sun. Mortgage is a huge rip off, it's like buying a house on my credit card lol. But 30k is damn cheap, I assume most people are paying cash?

Driving and parking car is awful in every city. You should move to Croatia, FranFran said it's pretty good over there

You guys have done this several times before, it goes nowhere. I'm not going to dump it in another forum for another mod to deal with. If you want to move the "discussion" you'll have to start from scratch.

Since neither of you is going to accomplish anything I recommend just dropping it though.

When I said "neither of you will accomplish anything" I meant nothing will be accomplished by having this repeated for the 5th time on these forums.

I wish you both the best in life and hope you accomplish a lot.

My residential complex is Э-shaped and my view is on the outside... the plants aren't going to get much light, though, because the window faces west-northwest and there's a tree in front of it. There aren't going to be any tall buildings in front of the window, though.

Studios in the crossbar of the "Э" are selling very poorly for the reason you mentioned and maybe also because there's going to be a kindergarten in the ground floor under them. Over 40% of them aren't booked yet.

The 31-y.o. woman who was filing documents at the same time as me had had to take out a mortgage on a $30K residence. Alas most Russians are this poor, and also, the 'prestige' of having 'one's own' property is being promoted too much in the local media.

Besides, it's mentally damaging to rent in Russia, as landlords are tyrants too often. 92% of residential lease agreements are oral, for the tax (13%) evasion purpose, though this number is expected to go down a bit because the tax office has ordered the police to raid illegal rentals, but bear in mind that execution is usually lacking in this country.
