I agree to you re Cluj! It's madness to build a 11 floors building in a houses area with 2 floors level of height according to the urban development plans. But the big developers have it their way, just as it happened with Ireland a few years ago.
I however disapprove the entire Transylvania region is a subject to herendous development. There are many off-plans in Brasov that are pretty nice, in Sibiu they preserved the town very well, in places like Oradea or Arad the things will start to look better, in Sighisoara the renovation program already started, etc.
I think Bucharest is far worse from this point of view and still it's very tasty regarding real estate investment.

It's a urban tragedy; municipalities have no control over the building permits enforcement (except when it's a foreigner trying to build a "home"). I am so sad to see those pointed roofs tearing the skies of Cluj apart...I am disgusted by the rows of project houses that are supposed to look better than the communist era buildings...well, I don't think so, they are as ugly believe me! I have pictures to prove it if someone challenges me. Romania is following the path of "Concrete Bubble" (another nickname for Dubai). Speculation oblige!!! Sorry if I sound "blasee"...I am.
