It maintains the same temp, even when hot water temp or pressure is changing

I can’t speak for everyone but here’s what mine like like:

still live in a cheap fucking apartment

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.

USians love to shit on Soviet apartment blocks, but you know what Soviet apartment blocks have? Separate water supply in the kitchen and the bathroom, with enough pressure for everything unless like half of the floors in a high-rise decide to shower simultaneously.

1. Buy more dishes so you can go longer between washes
2. Buy a half-height dishwasher. They exist, I owned one that lived on the floor of my bathroom.

I live alone and I fill up my full size dishwashers every few days. If you don't eat ordered/preprocessed food you can also just chuck pots and pans in the bottom rack.

Dishwashers use a lot less water than hand-washing. Even if there's a little bit of room left, it's still a net positive. There's no reason for anyone to hand-wash unless they live in a tiny NYC broom closet or exclusively eat take-out in disposable containers.

Standard 70's Yugoslav house I'd say. They built 'em intended to be multi generational. A good 1000l hot water storage in the basement is more than enough for something of this size.

Ok duh I did not get that one
