Welcome to the majority of America living situations. And most of the time they aren’t even fucking cheap. To live in a place with basic standards of living that are in line with modern tech is a luxury here.
Not just the states….im in a (rented) house in Germany that was built in the 90s (so not that old to compare to a lot of other houses here) and deal with this everyday. Coupled with the insanely long cleaning times and frequency of use due to how small they are for the “economic” washing machines and dishwashers, fluctuating water pressure and water temps are always a surprise….
Is it like that? I remember this being an issue in the 1970s. Even crappy old places that I lived in as a student had balancers. I think they’ve been required here since the…90s?
Required? In the states? Nah. My last house in the states was built in 2000, not a single balancing valve or thermostatic valve in the place. 4 bed 2.5 bath.

Funny they just said “here” and you assumed the US.
The original comment said “welcome to the majority of American living situations”
Lol “required”. Landlords in this shit hole are barely required to have a habitable domicile much less one that is updated to modern standards.
