Gennadiy Tsygan knows how expensive it is to build a home in the United States. That’s why he imported almost everything for his dream house from China.
Most of his home fixtures were imported directly from over two dozen factories, and Tsygan — an engineer in Baltimore — flew halfway around the world in 2024 to choose some of those products.
What a bullshit article.
Guy fills his house with stuff bought on Alibaba and Temu.
He thinks he’s saving money now, but in the long run, he will be paying for repairs, replacements, etc. Ask one of my former landlords. 😂
none of that shit can be repaired. No parts availability. See most of the Chinese drop-shipped crap at Big box stores.
Not the crappy fixtures, but my kitchen cabinets definitely needed to be replaced when my shitty kitchen faucet sprayed water all over the place. Yeah, the cabinets were cheap particle board, too. 😂
Agreed. An engineer who can afford to fly to China to hand pick fixtures straight from the factory is whining about home affordability and proposing this as some obtainable solution for literally anyone else.
