childreninvestors!!!???Time for the CIA to activate the student riots one more time
Lol I wouldn’t brag on the blocs comrade, there are many problems with them.
It’s true, this is a much better solution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tent_cities_in_the_United_States
During great depression, they were called Hoovervilles. I say we bring it back, call them Trumpvilles
One has nothing to do with the other? I thought we were talking about blocs.
I mean, either you have a state that actually spend the resources to house people, or you get that.
the Faircloth Limit as an amendment to the Housing Act of 1937, which limited funding for the construction or operation of all units to the total number of units as of October 1, 1999 and repealed a rule that required one for one replacement of demolished housing units.

Nah this is praise lesser evils time
Yeah no shit. Literally everything has ups and downs. The USSR just got through a world war against a power that was trying to genocide and colonise their land. Entire cities were destroyed. Millions were made homeless. Commie blocks were a good thing and yet they’re shat on. Like what else were they meant to do?
How so?
Maybe I’m just bitter about the boatload of money I paid for repairs only for the fucking elevator to work only 3 months of the year. I was on floor 13. I remember similar complaints from others.
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 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
Nonono I agree with you, why did they decide to construct pre-rundown buildings? Such fools!

If you just ignore the historical context sure.
Why does it suggest liberals are scared of this? Aren’t they okay with Projects for affordable housing? So liberals aren’t communists? Then, why are the red hat clowns so grumpy?
The Soviet onion was horrible, but those are the few quite good things.
Stalin ate all the onions with a comically large spoon, except for one. Sadly the last onion wasn’t very good.

That explains the famine
Well, if you want to talk about some Soviet vegetables, we can.

But how are landlords supposed to extort a living if there’s plentiful government built housing? Did you monsters even think about your local landleech? They might have to go get jobs if we build thousands of identical apartments all over the country and made them available for 2-3% of average incomes.
I always tip my landlord. After all he’s doing a good job fixing the leaks and molding. (Okay he hasn’t done it in decades but he said “I will so stop asking and I am increasing rent by 3 times!”)

The whole >90% of territory never saw a foot of German soldier was not where most of the destroyed urban housing stock stood. The war destroyed over 1,700 towns and 70,000 villages, which was roughly half the urban housing stock in the most populated and industrial regions, and left about 25 million people homeless.
Many houses were built by workers in their spare time after work, on a land granted by the state and using construction materials provided by the factory or plant they worked at, but that was a supplement to state reconstruction, not proof that war ruin was secondary.
The barracks aging is precisely what created the need for khrushchevkas in late 50s and early 60s onwards. Then brezhnevki with some improvements over bare minimal comfort of previous gen, and eventually from 70s onwards to the end of soviets the massive prefab took hold. There were countless experimental projects at different times and in different configurations, from 3 storey alpha builds of Khrushchevkas to Kyiv’s Podil 4 blocks project of late 80s, but all of it was a response to the war-created housing deficit, not a response to industrialization alone as you falsely claim.
Aggressive industrialization wasn’t the fundamental explanation for the scale and duration of the postwar housing construction program. Wartime destruction was the main driver.
It really helps to actually learn about the subjects before you start braying about them.

Even if it’s a meme, and it rips the piss out of liberals or whatever, such mistakes make them easy target and work only in echo chambers
That would require liberals to read so they know what you just said. Quite rare.
If those kids could read.jpg?
They can, they just dont. certainly not something that might make them understand the conditions inside the Soviet Union.
This is completely incorrect.
Oh and on the other hand, British mass social housing for working class emerged because of King George’s WW1 realization that better fed and kept humans give more durable cannon fodder, after comparing British and German soldiers. At crown’s command, no socialism required.
Remember when Jane Byrne tried to vacation at Cabrini? Good times.
