We have collected comments from visitors to our portal on this matter.

«I live there, half the street was demolished at the end of 2025. No one is offended, everyone was satisfied,» assures a site visitor.

«They should even thank the developer for deciding to demolish the old stuff!» declares a second.

«Far from everyone has old houses! — objects a third. — And living in your own house is much better than in an apartment! With flowers and cucumbers, if you want barbecue— please, no need for a dacha, if you want— heat up the sauna, if you want— sunbathe in the yard, it»s definitely better than in a concrete cage!«

«Giving up what was built with one»s own hands and love for family for pennies is unthinkable! I am more than satisfied with my dwelling, I don«t need this demolition for a hundred years!» adds another.

«The residents» demands are adequate, but the developer would strangle themselves for a penny!« exclaims a reader.

«The developer doesn»t care, the city sets the prices,« explains another.

«They»re offering real pennies!« believes a Ufa resident.

«The more they save on resettlement, the more will be in their pocket,» notes a city resident.

«If necessary, they»ll demolish and not ask,« concludes a UFA1.RU visitor.
