    Vast majority of commie blocs don’t stand up today. Those who still do are incredibly riddled with issues.

    They were cheaply built designed to keep the workforce next to the factories and nothing else. Living in them is miserable.

    The “commie blocs” you see today for the vast majority were built after communism ended.

      So it’s an issue from the absence of communism.

      As opposed to living out in the street? In tent cities?

        Uh, no? These were shit during communism too. There was basically no maintenance or planning, the materials used were garbage.

        As opposed to living out in the street? In tent cities?

        As opposed to a properly built housing a factory worker could afford.

        Like I get it y’all really love stacking humans in oversized rabbit hutches but the commie blocks were terrible, stop using them as an example.

          You know what? I agree. It’s actually really evil of the soviets that they did not build a Versailles for every single factory worker! It’s not like they couldn’t! Evil Stalin decided to just house people in bad houses because he’s evil, it’s really too bad they didn’t have a genius like you there to say “hey guys, how about we build nice houses instead?” You could’ve made it all so much better.

            ah yes

            Shitty run down unmaintained building that is rotting from the inside and the outside

            Versaille castles

            The only two options when it comes to building housing

                I see you have approximatelyno knowledge, no interest in acquiring knowledge, not the capacity to do so.

                Go pound your soviet government provided sand (which was of low quality and caused much problems during the building of the commie blocks btw).

          If you just ignore the historical context sure.
