Wow! Detroit with worse weather and different but still unappealing accents----A crumbling Sochi hides behind Olympic facades

A crumbling Sochi hides behind Olympic facades | Fox News:

"SOCHI, RUSSIA –  A shining new $635 million highway on the outskirts of Sochi stands next to a crumbling apartment block with a red "SOS!" banner on its roof.

 The residents of 5a Akatsy street have lived for years with no running water or sewage system. 

Construction for the 2014 Winter Games has made their lives more miserable: The new highway has cut them off from the city center.

Even their communal outhouse had to be torn down because it was found to be too close to the new road and ruled an eyesore."
