The New Resident – Concrete Mirage

What struck me most in the newly built residential developments was the large number of expensive cars. At the time, I assumed there might be a simple explanation: a young generation, professionally successful and often supported by their parents, living with relatively few worries and enjoying the material resources that allow for a comfortable lifestyle. For them, owning a good car, enjoying life, traveling and shopping are perfectly natural pursuits, and the search for a decent, affordable home is not necessarily affected by the fact that it may lie in an area marked by poor urban planning and weak infrastructure.
