In some countries, life is not quite the way most of our compatriots are used to. Often, the difference comes down to little things. However, they can be quite interesting too. One of these "features" is the absence of baths as toilet items in some American apartments. Why do a number of US citizens refuse such a blessing of civilization?
In most cases in the United States, apartments are not associated with prestigious housing. Most often these are very modest dwellings, especially in large cities. And that is why there can be only one reason for the absence of a bath - savings. Moreover, saving two things at once. It is connected with quite objective circumstances and in many ways resembles the situation in a number of European cities.

If the apartment does not have a bathtub, then it is guaranteed to have a shower. The presence of both (especially in the form of a separate booth) is already a luxury item. More often than not, Americans refuse a bath in order to save an already small area of the bathroom. This is not such a bad solution, especially for twin rooms. The shower takes up much less space, and in fact allows you to do everything the same as a bath.

In addition, in the United States and in other Western countries, utility bills are on average higher (and sometimes radically higher) than in the countries of the former Soviet Union. This is due to the fact that local citizens pay the full cost of services and resources, and not some of it. Therefore, such a thing as water is very expensive. In this regard, the shower again allows you to save, but this time water (and therefore money). Therefore, a bath, as a sanitary attribute, simply becomes unnecessary.
