Раз так
Russian to English
Art/Literary
Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Единственный вариант, который лезет мне в голову:
* Well then *
Any other options?
"Якобы из-за строительства бани Караваевской за год до этого отселили правую сторону дома, прилегающую к бане. Все отселенные были довольны, т.к. получили отдельные и лучшие квартиры. А раз так, то оставшиеся в "коммуналках" тоже хлопотали, чтобы и их отселили."

Not to be outdone
For this context specifically. Flows and fits better, in my opinion.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "*Раз так* has so much zing in Russian - most of the English options sound too formal by comparison. The other suggestion I seriously considered was *on that account*, but for some reason Angela didn't officially submit it for points. So I'm going with *not to be outdone*, which I agree flows well in this context. "
