Well, expensive in Moscow is a fraction of expensive in LA. On the other hand you might get a mortgage loan in LA, which you cannot in Moscow. What a choice. How about selling the flat in Moscow and...

Didn't you say that you were looking for housing in LA rather than in Moscow?

I am not in Russia, and I do not have this type of entertainment. I can sometimes hear extremely loud sounds emitted from adjacent apartments in an apartment block... peeing, thankfully, is not an...

Quite remarkable. I must prove my "authority" on Russia when I merely ask about wall thickness. Nice try, JB.

So how many times more are you going to evade answering the question on wall thickness, JB?

You do have a problem with your vision, JB. Or else I don't know how you could miss the bit about wall thickness. Well, there is an alternative, though. It is either your vision or your brains.

Have your vision checked, JB. Being unable to distinguish between a house and a summer cabin should be alarming for you. Being unable to distinguish between a paper screen and a two-foot wall should...

Since when are the intra-city roads made of concrete entirely? Engineering degree, eh?

My questions make no sense for you because you have no idea how houses are built outside the US. In the US, it is mostly sheetrock attached to a skeleton-like frame. In Europe, such frames are only...

Orders of magnitude ? A 600 mm RC slab on grade ? Get an engineering degree.[/quote]
I could. Costs only a few grand. Is it how you got it?



Do you actually know where St Petersburg is ? ...

Is it simply a layer of plaster (or should I say sheetrock?) attached to a skeleton-like frame or is it plaster attached to a thick wooden or brick wall?

"a combo of wood and plaster construction"?

What questions? The only questions that I had in this thread were "such as", which you have answered satisfactorily, and "and look exactly like those paper things, right?", which you have not...

I call them "paper houses" because, like I said, the material is hardly distinguishable from paper. I mentioned a fragile framework, too. And you do not see houses like that except in America and...

.

If you'd read what I'd written then you had have seen that I mentioned that planning permission was initally necessary, via 'City Hall' as you call it. What I'm talking about is during the...

Look around where you are now.


Such as?


... and look exactly like those paper things, right?

The second statement is a lie. In most countries in Europe, that would take a few months, too. In most countries, you need an approval by the local authorities, and that implies getting that through...

As an engineer working on construction projects in Russia, I would object to the standard of building in Russia being compared to that of the rest of Europe.[/quote]
I was not talking about Russian...

No Russian house will look like "a big house in America". They may look like big houses for the American rich, though. If a house, in Russia, looks like an American house, it is not a house but a...
