the statistic /indoor flushing toilet for the sole use of their household/ is not relevant > in 1983 before the wall came down, and in 1989 immediately after, i visited east germany. a cousin in west germany bought property in east germany immediately after the wall came down.the do things differently, under communism (not selling it) they do a lot more sharing, and the govt provides a lot more. eg. each floor of a typical apartment block has four apartments: 2 x one bedroom and 2 x two-bedroom. there is one shower and one toilet per floor, if there is a bath, it is separate. they live quite happily. there is a roster on the shower door, so that people can plan their mornings per their work schedule. all those thousands of apartments would fall into the bad category, but in reality, they do have a flushing toilet, just not per household.
