Housing in the Mountain Region
Georgia is a developing country recovering from a huge 20 year void left by the end of the Soviet Union. This has resulted in a lower standard of living for most people that I have met in the United States and closer to that of the average person I have met in England. Buildings are old and in general disrepair both in the region I live and in the capital where I visit frequently. In both cases I have experienced water outages but primarily in the region. Currently, we get water from a community spout about 75 yards (meters) from the house. It is winter now. In upstate New York we have had ice storms and heavy snow with power out for a few days. It is the same in the mountain region where I live. Internet just arrived for houses in my village. I have a large private bedroom with a fireplace and large windows. My friends in the capital have similar accommodations.
