Uhm, I frequently watch your way of "home"s (those one storey large houses with
garages, sitting in the middle of a large grass garden) from Hollywwod pieces of
junk, and yes, it is just very nice. But living in a city like Istanbul (with a
population of more than 12 million) requires this. Not always this much high but
generally at least 6 storeys. And always smaller than what you require
(generally 90-100 m2) if you don't want yo pay tremendous amount hiring price. I
fyou want to live in a independent home like the ones in US, either you must be
very rich, or very poor (for some hand build disgusting type of "independent"
barracks located generally at the far suburbs, having no proper utility)

Hey, we are all third worlders, don't you know..:-)

(...) ObSomething: You get 100 m2 at a reasonable price? wow. We only get at most 20 m2 affordable.... and then you have a spacy apartment/room :) And our entire country only seats 16 mil, over an area, which I _think_ is slightly larger than (...) (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
