Why is the current generation of Russians doomed to live in gigantic worries unsuitable for life? And why does the affordable mortgage make housing even more inaccessible?
Russians began to buy apartments with a corridor size and take them. Realtors argue: now it is the most liquid.
Firdus Anokhina, Realtor: "People decided to invest. Pushed them to this certainly that the rates began to fall. "
But why record low mortgage rates do not help those who need to solve their housing problem? And even these modest meters do not get it?
Firdus Anokhina, realtor: "Prices began to grow already in a pandemic. The result was the reverse picture: it seems a preferential mortgage, but it has become less accessible to people. "
In the city of Kudrovo, in the Leningrad region, they wanted to do cozy, in Europe, but it turned out as always. While people who bought gold meters in the hives, dream that they will finally build kindergartens, schools and clinics, 20-30 storey boxes are already built in the neighborhood. Apparently, the infrastructure necessary for normal life is nothing compared to the appetites of developers.
But why will such a cluster of the budget housing? The United States after the Second World War also did a bet on the neighborhoods. The middle class was not delayed there, unlike those for whom it was a ceiling. As a result, the areas marginalized so much that there were no options: they began to demolish them. Paradox This is what: Even if our developers wanted to build a different way, nothing but anthraces with wastelands, they would not succeed.
So why don't we build, as in a cozy Europe? Dutch architectural critic Bart Goldhoorn explains this by the remaining standards from Soviet times.
Bart Goldhoorn, architectural critic: "For example, in Russia it is impossible to arrange parking lots very close to the facades, as in Europe. If the developer buys land, it should allocate for social needs to 40% of this area. "
That is, any European project is waiting for the following: at home are moving away, and then to compensate for the land costs, the floods increase.
Bart Goldhoren: "You can invite foreign architects and say" we want to build something comfortable ", but they will adapt to the norms, so you have to do everything the same."
But if the norms do not change, then it is necessary to someone? So really huge houses with tiny apartments - is it for us for a long time?
Olga Ulyanova, director of the advertising department and marketing of the construction company: "We will not go trend on spacious apartments, it became economically unprofitable."
