Естественно, массовое строительство [жилыз домов в США в 1940-е годы], как и в СССР, вело к удешевлению строительства за счет введения более дешевых материалов - ДСП, линолеума, плитки. Но все равно все новые сдававшиеся дома были с телефонами, посудомойками, стиральными машинами - роскошь, которая в СССР даже к концу 80-х не было доступна всем.

Нельзя не вспомнить "кухонные дебаты" между Хрущевым и Никсоном на выставке в Москве в 1959 г.

Nixon: "You had a very nice house in your exhibition in New York. My wife and I saw and enjoyed it very much. I want to show you this kitchen. It is like those of our houses in California."

Khrushchev: [after Nixon called attention to a built-in panel-controlled washing machine]: "We have such things."

Nixon: "This is the newest model. This is the kind which is built in thousands of units for direct installation in the houses." He added that Americans were interested in making life easier for their women. Mr. Khrushchev remarked that in the Soviet Union, they did not have "the capitalist attitude toward women."

Nixon: "I think that this attitude toward women is universal. What we want to do is make easier the life of our housewives." He explained that the house could be built for $14,000 and that most veterans had bought houses for between $10,000 and $15,000. "Let me give you an example you can appreciate. Our steelworkers, as you know, are on strike. But any steelworker could buy this house. They earn $3 an hour. This house costs about $100 a month to buy on a contract running 25 to 30 years."

Khrushchev: "We have steel workers and we have peasants who also can afford to spend $14,000 for a house." He said American houses were built to last only 20 years, so builders could sell new houses at the end of that period. "We build firmly. We build for our children and grandchildren."

Nixon: "We do not claim to astonish the Russian people. We hope to show our diversity and our right to choose. We do not wish to have decisions made at the top by government officials who say that all homes should be built in the same way. Would it not be better to compete in the relative merits of washing machines than in the strength of rockets. Is this the kind of competition you want?"

Khrushchev: "Yes that's the kind of competition we want."
