    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.

      Lol “required”. Landlords in this shit hole are barely required to have a habitable domicile much less one that is updated to modern standards.
