Convince yourself of whatever you want, Donovan. It seems to be your
modus operandi.
You keep changing the parameters, and then lying about it.
Here are the original parameters, reproduced again:
> And so they wonder why rent is $1200 a month in Moscow
This is what I responded to.
And here is the lie:
> I said it was $1200 a month for an average home, not apartment, Chas.
No, you didn't. See above.
You have also added these requirements:
> No covered parking, the buildings are old, on gravel roads, and very tiny. No garage, no dishwashers, no central air conditioning, and the walls are paper thin, you can hear everything on the other side. Some the windows are cracked. No screens on the doors. They are more like hotel rooms than anything else.
1. Covered parking
2. The building must be new, or least not "old"
3. They must have a garage
4. They must have dishwashers
5. They must have central AC
6. They must exist on paved roads
7. They must have screens on the doors
And:
> Saw it. Wouldn't consider it. I couldn't live possibly live there.
8. It must be a place that you would choose to live.
Imagine that I had stated:
"You can't buy a pair of shoes in Moscow for under $35."
That is a very literal statement, with no possibility of misinterpretation.
You then point out that Payless sells tennis shoes for under that amount.
I say:
"Oh, yes, but I specified dress shoes! And the shoes for under $35 at
Payless aren't all leather, and they don't have stitched soles, and
they aren't made in Italy."
This is what you have done, except that you have been even more
ludicrous than my example.
Learn to be a good sport, Donovan.
