Like any banana republic, the Glorious Leader lives with his wealth on a
hill and very little filters down to the ordinary person.
Lots of Russian town and villages still have rutted streets. Have you ever
been there?
I guess it's not.
Guess again.
I don't know about Russian towns
I recommend to use Yandex Maps / street view to explore Russia's towns.
One can also use Google, but its pictures are more outdated, also Google
is a hateful leftie nest, so it intentionally seeks to takes pictures of
Russia in cloudy weather, in order to make things look more bleak.
For example, here is what the place where Russia originally began - 1100
years ago - looks like <https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CGCEr07E>, - dig a meter
deep <https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CGCI4Fmx>, and you'd find something there.
In the northern and central part of Russia, quite many small settlements
today are dying. It's because of the modern economic transformations.
These rural settlements were related to agriculture before, but today the
agriculture in the Russian south is booming, - so the agriculture in the
more northern latitudes is no longer in such a demand.
So one can really find dilapidated villages with ruttled streets etc, but
very small percentage of population is living so, and presenting it as
"true Russia" would be like presenting the dilapidated Detroit or the like
as true America. The Atlanticist propaganda loves very much to exaggerate
about this subject <http://bit.ly/2P3yzrX>, <https://nbcnews.to/2ZpnUMl>
<https://nyti.ms/2w8ReEb> <https://bit.ly/2NlepqO> (and the Wahhabi Al-
Jazeeera loves too <http://bit.ly/2KIgknv>). All these shoddy morons dream
on Russia's death, so these dilapidated villages is their kind of porn.
Post by Wise TibetanMonkey, Most Humble Philosopherbut I know about Woodbourne NY, where I'd commit suicide if I have to go
back there. We were in a beautiful property but there was absolutely no
place to walk, no trails for hiking anywhere and a State Prison that towered
over this hamlet. It must have brought millions to the local economy but the
prosperity was nowhere to be found. There was beautiful nature and that was
it.

And Miami is the worst possible city I can imagine in the tropics. NOT A
SOUL OUTSIDE. Here we got the beach but you'll be lucky to find a functional
park. Homeless everywhere, driving is reckless (you may chat on the phone
casually), and the SUVs rule by sheer size.
I went to Seville, Spain, and it's light years ahead of this but it doesn't
compare to Moscow in cleanliness and the outlying areas are depressed. The
park of Alamillo is a magic world where the children roam free because the
cars are kept out. No homeless, no litter, no BS.
I'll get you a list of why Moscow is #1 in Europe.
Indeed, a large part of the US is located in (sub)tropics. Compare it to
Russia <

Such a climate naturally makes infrastructure notably more expensive.
Nevertheless, Russia is in a dynamic development. Eg., for the recent ten
years the Russia's road network length has been increased by about 1.5 times
(about the same increase as for the number of cars). One could not imagine
such high rates of development neither in the US or Canada nor in Europe.
It's still happening in Russia, right now.
