Aside from not being Trump (which is a great trait), I know next to nothing about Harris. I know she’s a former prosecutor, and might be able to identify her if she showed up at my door
What else should I know about her (and should I be hopeful of her pushing any meaningful progressive policies)?
That’s a pretty bad argument if you’re making a case for these buildings. “It’s better than the streets”. What’s next? “Water and bread are better than being hungry”? I think we should cross a line somewhere.
Of course living in the streets is worse than any house, but it should never be the baseline. I’m not making a case against those buildings, just your arguments is shit.
They already have. Here in poland the commie-block apartments are bought and sold on the free market and a lot of them are kept empty as an investment while people have nowhere to live.
These problems exist everywhere where there is capitalism, no matter what infrastructure was already built there before.
Wow, Democrats nominate a prosecutor, and people’s thoughts on ACAB change all of a sudden and start down voting me on it. It’s like they forgot the first A means All.
To be clear she’s 4,000% less a bastard and than Donald Trump, that doesn’t mean ACAB stopped being true, I die on this hill.
The best fucking joke is that those buildings and neighborhoods despite being absolute piss poor quality are waaay nicer, roomier and greener than what capitalist development corpos build these days. So yeah, free market for the win i guess.
At least where I live new developments are crammed so you can see directly into the windows of your neighbors, there are fences between every fucking building and the only outside there is, is a parking lot.
You have to walk through concrete plazas 15 minutes to get to a convenience store because its impossible for you to take a shortcut through another buildings parking lot, no, no. You sit in your own fucking designated area.
Meanwhile commieblocks are spaced apart with trees between them, there is no fence in sight and catch this: they made openings in the longest buildings so you can walk a shorter route wherever you’re going.
Many also have quite a lot of social areas, shopping places and good public transportation. If they are well maintained, they are far superior to the space wasting, infraatructure hungry, climate destroying sprawling suburbs of several western countries.

Man, I really hate current infencetation.
Meanwhile soviet city building book:
Trees
More trees
See 2
Each district has everything
Each microdistrict has at least something like school, polyclinic or kindergarden
There are no bad houses
and catch this: they made openings in the longest buildings so you can walk a shorter route wherever you’re going.
True. I couldn’t find photos of them on the internets, so if you want, I can walk tomorrow and take some photos. Or you somehow find them and post for lemmy to see.
Quality is actually not bad. Like yea, they usually don’t have modern wiring but since the construction materials used are insanely durable and thick renovating those buildings with new windows, heating, pipes and wires gets you like the best possible apartment. You will never hear your neighbours, winters are warm with minimal heating and that building will last for like centuries with minimal maintenance.
Seconded. When walking around my 60s neighbourhood in Poland I can clearly see that someone sat down and planned how the neighbourhood is going to look, i.e. where there will be a store, where a kindergarten and where a school. Not to mention a huge swath of lawn with playgrounds in the middle of the buildings for the ultimate flex.
Opposite of “ok we’ll sell the land and the free market will figure it out”.
Strictly speaking, that question is invalid, as a rock has no genetic material. It’s like saying “You’re more similar in color to sand than to mathematics.”
Many people, tremendous people, the best people… Everyone’s seen it. He shits his pants all the time. You know what I call him? Little donny shit pants, that’s what I call him. Because he shits his pants so much.
Man I should offer lessons on adulting. Lesson 1, nobody is doing it well, everyone is faking. Lesson 2, we’re all jealous that you’re still a child, milk that shit. Lesson 3, stop listening to old man complain, go have fun.
Edit: I’ve looked up the picture and confirmed these buildings are some of the empty city that China has constructed. I’m not sure what all the downvotes are for…
These buildings have appeared in countless different places. I guess no one’s seeing any humor in it…
Edit to add that I’d genuinely like to know where you saw them and inquire if you know any background on them. I’m very interested in the origins of these projects. I feel like I’m in one of the best places to learn from people with first-hand knowledge.
Ice is a mineral. So molten ice, i.e. water, is lava. Humans are mostly made of water, much more than they are made of DNA. So you are more molten rock than you are genetic material. And people are some sort of water golem.
