Yeah, I heard that too. When I first went to Russia, I spent a lot of time explaining how life in the US was close to how it was shown in Hollywood, as far as cars, clothes, and food. Houses, I explained not everyone lived in a big ol' 6 bedroom house like it seemed all families did in the movies. But, houses in general, Americans had, whereas I never saw any houses in Moscow, just apartments.
