      They live in rundown shitholes mostly.

      I tried to add a photo to this post but images seem to be banned atm due to the attacks on Lemmy. Just Google it and see the beauty of the land of krokodil.

        Not really. There are “commie block” apartments across not just Russia but lots of Eastern and Central Europe that are more desirable, pleasant, and cheaper than many new developments in the US and UK.

        You can also look at Red Vienna housing, another socialist urban design.

        I’ve heard that in the Soviet countries, they have very tall apartment buildings, many don’t even have elevators. Some have elevators, but you have to pay to ride them.
