I lived in a commie block until I had enough money to move out.

Easily the worst years of my life.

I'd rather shoot myself than go back in one of these depression factories.

I've slept in a dozen kinds of them. Some are better than others, obviously, and even the worst of them were better than makeshift barracks or no housing at all. If they are built properly they are nice and affordable.

ed: Ask finns. IIRC they have a lot of these built right, with all their tech and a basic care about future homeowners, that is usually a flipping point in how livable commie blocks are.

I feel like there has to be some way to design one so that it's maximally space efficient while not being a depressing shithole.
