agreed

however

for reference

the new buildings being built across eastern europe/including russia, a good part of them lack proper building norms

water infiltrates

the basement floods

the walls are thiner

etc

a good portion of them

Not in Hungary they don't

Although we are not proper Eastern Europe either

it depends from what construction companies you strike deals with

if they can get away with cutting corners they will

Never heard of any building having those problems here

We **do** however have a massive issue with delays

my blocks had draconic building codes since it's built right after the great earthquake of 1977

I wonder how many of these new buildings will hold properly in a real earthquake

as in a few months to a year and a half setbacks

Oh wait, you are a Romanian?

If I have to choose between a new block with questionable earthquake resistance and an old one with proper earthquake code, i'll go with old

yes

Timisoara

I did hear some shady stuff about your construction companies

it may be that

yeah

the very new buildings built after 1989 had some catastrophic qualities

only after we joined the EU in 2007 were they forced to respect proper regulations

it might sound strange on Sargon's fucking server

but the EU is a blessing

it has it's problems

but for us at least

it's been a massive net positive

they don't make them like they used to

literally move thhem on rails with people still in them

What the hell do you do with the plumbing tho

Wut plumbing

you disconnect it

the plumbing is all at the very bottom

Yeah. You'd expect Scottish parliament to at least operate from within a stone castle (with 15 deg C room temperature).
