During World War I, the US government designed and constructed entire communities for workers and their families, setting new standards for housing and neighborhood planning.
Everybody hates commieblocks because whereever they are, they’ve been in disrepair for 50 years. The west built them, in europe at least, quite extensively in the 70s and by the time the first actual maintenance was up it was the 80s so that wasn’t done anymore. I don’t have to tell people here how it happened in what is now Russia.
I think it’s an underlooked fact that these fuckers are habitable, still. I have been to east german towns and villages full of single family homes (in modernity, in which used to be like, farms buildings or local production of something) and it looks like the apocalypse has happened.
