ALL POSTSHousing in Medici? 
<p>Welcome!
</p><p>This is sort of an extension to "The life of Medician citizens".
</p><p>Here, I would like answers to questions like: What are the primary types of housing? How big are typical units in those types of housing? How expensive is it? Are there any governmental programs helping those who cannot afford housing? How is the typical housing unit from each type furnished? and similar questions.
</p><p>I'll be thankful for all replies on the topic!

<p>Since Medici is based on real locations in southern France and possibly Italy, I'm gonna advise you to research the average housing in those areas.

<p>Still, I wanterd more speculation, similar to what I did in "Medici's Car Industry".

<p>The houses at most towns seem to be pretty old, which means the apartments are small and probably full of stuff. In addition to that, the electrical power grid at the towns must be either well over its limit (and dangerously unstable), or it must have been overhauled several times since the time of the construction of town buildings.

<p>I guess that there was some sort of housing price bubble going on before the war, which means that people inhabiting the old apartments live there because previously they were not able to buy a new house/apartment due to the crap economy and now the prices are going up faster than they can save up for a new apartment.

<p>The vast majority of houses seem to be from the same era (all pre 1970s) with a few modern private houses north of Citate Di Ravello. To me this indicates that the economy must have gotten in trouble after that. The few modern houses and all the modern cars could be a recent thing, all from the last 15 or so years. This must mean that Sebastiano Di Ravello is the best thing that could have happend to Medici, because all evidence (speculation) suggests that the economy was doing very poorly until his time, but now there's lots of new cars and the economy (military industrial complex) seems to be helping people out.
</p><p>But at the same time, the oppressed towns have lots of closed stores, indicating poor economy, so it's kind of contradictory.

<p>Yeah
</p><p>Seems odd

</p><p>Store closures? Well, there is a war going on, so I guess people do not wanna spend, as they might need the money. And if people do not buy, then shops do not sell. Also, more people might be getting arrested for being in the opposition - and the arrested might also be store owners. </p><p>And the old houses... Well, I explained it with the price bubble thing. </p>

<p>Store closures... Those are valid arguments
</p><p>Old houses...
</p><p>Yeah
</p><p>Probably
</p><p>But it is possible
</p>

<p>Actually, I thought about it and living in Medici probably looks like that:
</p><p>- 8% - homeless
</p><p>- 65% - living in small, old apatments,
</p><p>- 20% - large apartments or houses, both old,
</p><p>- 7% - modern houses and apartments.
