Everyone wants to live in Moscow?? It cannot be! :) I don't understand the appeal at all. Why don't people want to live in nicer, more open areas and commute like in the States? In the DC Metro area, many people live in the suburbs of Virginia and Maryland, commuting up to two hours to work so they can have land and a nice house at an affordable price. But I suppose home ownership means something different to Americans. Thanks for the Wiki link - interesting!
