[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=all][quote=FlyerInHi]Interesting thing about Russians and real estate, they like to have dachas or summer houses that look like shacks in Mississippi.[/quote]
All of them, or just those that you asked?[/quote]

Just saying that Dacha ownership is part of the culture. Even people of modest means have dachas their build themselves, often wood cabins without insulation, with outhouses. Pretty rough conditions.[/quote]

Wasn’t (isn’t) this also true of many Americans, especially those who live in the larger cities on the NE coast? Seems that many families over the years would have very rustic summer cabins that they would visit during the warmer months.
