Low-Rent Apartments

Clearly, some people disagreed with this committee member's remarks.

Before he had even finished speaking, another committee member refuted him.

"Why should young people rush to buy a home right after graduating from university?

Can't they rent instead?

When we graduated from university, we never considered buying a home right away either. We focused most of our energy on work.

Besides, I've looked into real estate. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, the vast majority of young people can't afford to buy homes either.

Take Berlin, which is relatively close to us. More than eighty percent of university graduates there can't afford to buy a home within ten years of graduating and can only rent."

What he said was not without reason.

The more developed the country and the larger the city, the more people rented homes.

But he had quietly switched concepts here!

None of the committee members present would be fooled by him, of course.

So as soon as he finished rebutting the other man, another committee member immediately exposed his "lie" without sparing him any face.

One committee member said with a smile:

"You seem to have left something out. Compared to income, Moscow's rents are outrageously high as well!

In those major cities in developed European and American countries, rents may also be high, but their incomes are high enough to support them.

Take Berlin. Most new university graduates earn around two thousand euros a month. With rent at five hundred euros, they still have fifteen hundred euros left for living expenses.

Obviously, even in Berlin, fifteen hundred euros is enough to maintain a fairly high standard of living.

But what about Moscow? How much do new university graduates earn?

Three hundred US dollars?

Or five hundred US dollars?

And what about rent?
