So, commies had this policy of housing everyone. And it was not all that bad if you ask me, many city dwellers lived in communal flats and young families did not have enough space. Hong Kong also moved boat people to flats and demolished the Kowloon walled city. This is not just the policy in commie countries.

I have a little problem with the commies settling nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples like the gypsies in flats. These people don’t have the habits of living a sedentary lifestyle, and I am generally against such intrusions into the lifestyle of people in general, on principle…

I am not sure commie blocks were a nice place to live. But under the commies they were kind of OK. But then capitalism arrived, and with it the need for profit. Commie blocks kinda stopped being built in Czechia. Cheap flat ceased to exist, even commie block flat cost through the roof now, even in provincial towns. In Russia developers continued building commie blocks but these new commie blocks became savage…

I don’t know, is this a good architecture, is this the way to build cities. Personally, I think the street level ought to have shops, doctor’s offices, hair dresser and nail salons. A high street with restaurants, bars, and arcades should be near by, the upper floors should have luxury lofts with a view and maybe even solar panel array on the roof.
