Some things from personal experience, real estate thing from people sharing experiences in communities where Im at.
Caucasian region real estate often lacks planning because locals have different perception of convenience and healthy housing. For example they can build an apartment building with a room that has no windows. Real estate agent asked a potential buyer "why do you need windows for your children's bedroom? they are going to sleep there, arent they?" - without realising that people need windows for ventilation not to breed fungus and accumulate dust.
Construction companies may cut corners and avoid spraying water on their site as they're supposed to. It means when you're living nearby construction site be prepared to accumulate cancerous concrete dust in your room every time you try to open windows
Be prepared even in common life scenarios to encounter crazy s**t: people can easily use furniture woods as fuel for barbeque without thinking that they are about to enrich their food with formaldehyde and other components of periodic table.
Its just an example of the level of education and consciousness that you may encounter. And its okay if people do that to themselves, let them be. But often you will find their decisions directly impacting your health and peace too. Local's love for loud music and shouting even in normal conversation is another example.
